The most recommended employers in the tech sector
Earlier this year, Prime Minister Theresa May described the UK’s tech industry as a “British success story”. This was down to the fact that 72 per cent of venture capital and private equity investment in 2016 went to regional businesses and accounted for an impressive £9.2 billion. This meant that in Europe, the UK took the lead by attracting a total of £28 billion in technology investment between 2011 and 2016.
