Hacking – all day and all of the night!
So, Hack Manchester took place over the weekend – having our sister company as headline sponsors this year was particularly special. A 24-hour (which was actually 25) hackathon held on the day British Summertime ended, this was the third year Hack Manchester was held, and was its biggest event yet! There were lots of familiar faces to […]

Leeds Hack and Student Hack VI in Review
April was a bumper month for the North’s hacking scene. We had the pleasure of sponsoring the best in show prizes at both Leeds Hack and Student Hack VI.

The Unsung Heroes of Your Organisation
Let’s face it, you probably wouldn’t be nearly as organised, efficient or – honestly – successful if it weren’t for those administrative professionals in your team. Perhaps it’s because I’m one myself, or maybe because I have the pleasure of working alongside so many great ones, but in my experience, they’re the glue that holds […]

Having a Ruff Day
What do you call a dog that can do magic tricks …… a Labracadabrador. Being a dog person myself (and therefore somewhat biased), I think companies are barking mad not to consider the advantages that our canine friends can bring to staff wellbeing! Besides having your own personal shredder (who needs fancy toys when you […]
In Praise of the Raspberry Pi
We love the Raspberry Pi. This small, single-board computer roughly the size of a credit card may not look impressive at first sight, but its value in demystifying the world of computer programming cannot be underestimated. The best thing – particularly for me – is that you don’t need to be a software engineer to […]
