The future looks bright
Our MD, Richard West, was also one of the speakers on the night of the event, alongside other senior leaders from the various tech businesses.
Richard said, “The level of talent here tonight is a testament to Manchester’s vibrant tech ecosystem and the cutting-edge solutions that the start-ups and scale-ups bring to our growing region. Red Flag Alert are proud to stand amongst them all with a spot on the prestigious Tech Climbers list, the first of its kind for Manchester.
The Tech industry is fast paced, with a rapidly evolving landscape and a need for innovation and adaptability. Staying at the forefront of technological advancements isn’t always easy, and requires the right team, knowledgeable advisors and the best financial support – which isn’t as readily available as it once was!
I thank the Tech Climbers for recognising and drawing attention to the growing pool of dynamic talent and remarkable achievements within Manchester, and proving that not everything has to be London-centric. Manchester’s tech ecosystem can be just as ground-breaking and has a bright future.”
