“We’re delighted to hear that our good friend and industry worthy John O’Connell has launched the Scale-Up Group (SUG), to pretty much do what it says on the tin!
SUG comprises some of the elite of the UK technocracy, including Dr Mike Lynch, founder of Autonomy and Invoke Capital, Dr Steve Garnett, President of Salesforce.com EMEA who previously held leadership roles in Siebel and Oracle, and Michael Tobin OBE , former CEO of Telecity. Their aim is “to help UK technology companies make the leap from young start-up to fast-growing mid-range business and beyond” – i.e. scale them up!
As readers know, TechMarketView is a keen supporter of UK tech SMEs through our highly regarded Little British Battler programme. The more we can all do to make British tech greater, the better!”
