Tech Impact Awards

Not just one, but TWO wins at the Tech Impact Awards! 🏆🎉 Hard work truly does speak volumes. It takes a lot maintain the momentum of positive impact and I continue to elevate the harsh reality behind our success and the lives we've transformed: ↳ Only 26% of Tech roles in the UK are held by women, 3.4% of Tech leaders are Black ↳ Tech sector pays Black professionals 22% less on average, progression is hard to come by ↳ 4.5 million UK workers' job could be affected by AI with women and ethnic minorities most vulnerable Proud to celebrate our work in both categories of empowering people with Digital Skills at scale and driving greater diversity in Tech for over almost a decade with UpSkill Universe! My job isn't to be the hero. It's to make heroes out of everyone on our team. They make the magic happen, and I love them for it! Gutted I wasn't able to attend what looked like a glitzy event. Thanks my crew in Barty Carson, Jessica Stiff, & Theodore T King and repping for the UU! Amazing to see such fantastic finalists and winners across Liz Williams MBE and Holly Chate at FutureDotNow, the Cristhian Rodríguez ✔ at Google HOLA, Sheridan Ash MBE, Anna Brailsford, Joel Thomas (MCMI ChMC), Natalie Jones OBE and many more. Special shoutout to the Tech Impact Awards, for bringing together people in the room that are shaping the future of technology and believe in the positive impact of tech for society! Excellence isn't about fitting in. It's about standing out and lifting others as the world continues to change. #SystemicChange #AISkills #RepresentationinTech #FutureOfWork

There are moments in life where, honestly, while you hope, you really have to stop and tell yourself that this is a very tough nut to crack. When you are up against the might of Financial Times BT Group et al, you're thinking it's great to be in this company, but don't get your hopes up... So to go and smash it and win the Tech Impact Awards, is well, a wow moment! To say I'm proud of the EasiChat team would be an understatement. So, a big thank you to the London Tech Week #TechImpactAwards judges and to Iwona Rejman for arranging the event! And...if there are #investors who were at yesterday evening's wonderful occasion, who would like a chat, I'm very happy to. We are currently raising, looking to close Q1 2025 and while we are having very positive investment conversations, we do have #seis still available for #angelinvestors out there. Fancy being involved with an Award winning, gamechanging tech business? It would be great to have a chat.
