A record year for business saw turnover double to just under £1 million pounds and the company being awarded a prestigious Deloitte Fast 50 ranking for the third year running. This coupled with the gain of credible clients such as the Royal Mint, Age Concern England, University of Reading and Royal London Group and being short listed for the internet industries Online Information Awards confirms C(2) Software's position as one of the best in its field. Growth of the client base has resulted in the necessity to expand the workforce and increase office space by 30%.
"We are absolutely delighted to have received not just one award but two and to be showing that Tayside can produce leading class companies." said Kirk Potter, Research & Development Director for C(2) Software. "These awards recognise the overall success of the business and in particular Activedition over the last few years.
