Tavistock has extensive experience in Technology gained in over 25 years of working with some of the most innovative companies in the UK.
Our knowledge is drawn from a team with diverse backgrounds including former financial analysts, accountants, FTSE 100 in-house operators and science and technology graduates. This gives us the capability to understand complex technologies, applications and target markets and deliver outstanding results for our clients.

Software
Tavistock also has broad experience in working with companies which develop and offer Software as a Service (SaaS) and software Platforms as a Service (PaaS). Our clients have provided a wide range of solutions from systems which support back-office functions to developers of mobile and smart device apps.
