It's fair to say a lot has happened in the world over the course of 3 years. Coming out of a pandemic caused awash of economic ups and downs increasing the pressure on manufacturers to look at new and innovative ways to remain competitive. We’ve seen a substantial uplift in manufacturers turning to smart technology like ours to help them navigate the challenges, unlock opportunities and help them on their journey to net zero which has resulted in enquiries more than doubling in the last nine months.
To support the growth in demand we’ve made a number of new hires in the sales, customer success and marketing departments, including a number in senior leadership, taking the headcount to 20, and we are just about to embark on another recruitment drive to expand our development team.
