  • We are jeopardising UK tech by failing to tackle UK skills shortages

    June 17, 2014

    THE UK’s tech scene has changed beyond all recognition since I left London for the US in the late 1990s. Back then, there seemed little to be excited about beyond ARM and Autonomy.

  • City Matters: Companies must work with schools to fix Britain’s growing skills shortage

    March 30, 2014
