Why LDC has recognised Tecknuovo

Tecknuovo are an award-winning challenger technology consultancy. We are the fastest growing technology consultancy in the UK (recognised in the Sunday Times 100 but it’s our innovative Zero Dependency framework that makes us Deliberately Different.

Kieran Blackstone, CCO and Co-Founder of Tecknuovo said:

"I’m so proud that Gus is being recognised for all the years of hard work he’s put into Tecknuovo. He’s naturally uncomfortable about this sort of spotlight, always preferring to focus on what he could improve and the next challenge, rather than accepting credit for a job well done. However, I know he will be happy to agree that our success is very much owed to the dedicated people around us, both at Tecknuovo and our families at home. And, that our journey is only just beginning."

John Garner, Managing Partner, LDC, added:

“The volume and quality of submissions this year surpassed all of our expectations. We’ve been struck by the way business leaders have overcome challenges and adversity to run fast-growing and successful companies, proving that difficult circumstances can become the biggest driver of ambition. There are so many fascinating stories behind each and every business leader in this year’s Top 50 and I’d like to congratulate all of those featured. We look forward to seeing where they go next!”
