A fast-growing tech company which has increased its team of specialist engineers from 11 to 26 in just the last year is planning to recruit more staff in 2023.

Wimborne-based Talk Think Do, which celebrates its eighth anniversary this month, specialises in bespoke cloud solutions.

It has seen revenue grow by more than 750 per cent in the last six years, from £267,000 to £2.3 million.

It is forecast to hit £3.9 million this year and is working towards £7.5 million in revenue.

The company was founded by solution architect Matt Hammond in 2014.

Over the past eight years, the team has worked with cross-sector brands including Explore Learning, Livestock Information and The Third Space Group.

It aims to continue to attract local talent to the area as spotting a gap in the market has allowed Matt and his team to grow the business.

Matt, pictured left, said: “Before I founded Talk Think Do, I worked with several large businesses to deliver architectural solutions.

“I struggled to find teams that had the technical know-how and skills to deliver the standard of product I required.

“That is where I identified a gap in the tech solutions market and where Talk Think Do was born from.

“Our team is our strongest asset, and we plan to put Dorset on the map as a leading hub for the technology industry.

“Eight years on, I am proud that we continue to make ongoing investments into our team’s engineering skills.

“This allows us to build the highest quality, unique software solutions to fit our clients’ specific needs.

“This year, we are forecast to hit £3.9 million in revenue.

“That achievement in less than ten years is thanks to the commitment and focus of the entire team.”

Talk Think Do became a Crown Commercial Service supplier in 2017, giving the team access to a portfolio of public sector work.

It included Livestock Information Limited, a subsidiary of the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

The firm also secured Microsoft Gold Partner status in 2020 having earned the highest standards of Microsoft’s widely recognised partnership program.

The company also became ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited and a GitHub Technology Partner this year.

Last month, the team celebrated being awarded a place on the UK government’s latest G-Cloud 13 framework, an online catalogue where public sector customers can buy cloud-based computing services such as hosting, software, and cloud support.

Matt said: “While we are all incredibly proud of our success to date, we aren’t stopping there and have several plans and projects in the pipeline.

“We are on a trajectory and growth plan to scale our team to 75 employees, work towards £7.5 million in revenue, and launch our new product CodeNative by 2025.

“CodeNative is a game-changing cloud-native technology which enables customers to effectively generate bespoke enterprise-level mission critical software, and we are looking forward to bringing it to market.”
