We’ll keep this short so you can get back to doing amazing work, spend time with your loved ones and reflect. We wanted to focus on our home today, Manchester. In under 24 hours this city has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for victims’ families, we’ve watched businesses open their door to those in […]
Maybe you’ve noticed that Team UKFast are pretty fond of Manchester? You could say we love the place. In fact you should say that because we do love it. It’s our home, it’s where our journey began and it’s a city which we believe rivals any other on earth. Manchester’s booming technology and digital industries, […]

It’s the BBC’s tech talent week and to celebrate they’re shouting about all the amazing tech around […]
