Dorset Chartered Institute for IT 2023/2024 Annual General Meeting
For several years I've supported BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT Dorset Branch in a variety of roles including Chairman, having returned to a committee member role since 2021.
Before a brief AGM we'll have a guest talk from Andrew Radcliffe which is open to all, both members and non-members of BCS.
Guest presentation from Spyrosoft
In 2021, Spyrosoft was recognised by the Financial Times as the fastest-growing tech company in Europe; find out how they achieved it
As a global technology services company, Andrew aims to take you behind the scenes, telling the story of how Spyrosoft was built from the ground up, describing a unique customer engagement approach, the successes, failures and learnings along the way before giving an insight into future plans.
In 2021, many companies faced another year of slower growth as the pandemic continued to constrain business activity. Delayed recovery in demand across European economies and the implications of Brexit complicated this trading period.
Accenture reported that half of all European companies reported a revenue or profit decline in the previous year and didn’t expect immediate improvement. Based on revenue growth in the preceding three years, as compiled by data provider Statista, the Financial Times annual FT1000 review of Europe’s fastest-growing companies identified Spyrosoft as the fastest-growing technology company in Europe.
This was achieved based on the highest compound annual growth rate in revenue between 2016 and 2019.
