Last month, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to completely redesign and rebuild the website for Mary Hare School.

Renowned for being the largest school for the deaf in the UK and the ‘Centre of Excellence’ for deaf education, we are honoured to be able to be involved with such a worthwhile organisation.

Now more than ever, thanks to ever changing technology and the Internet, the world has become a truly global marketplace and as your business grows, it is more and more likely that your potential customers may not speak your language. The best way to cross the language barrier is to have a multilingual website.

As you may have guessed, here at MAXX, we love to blog. It gives us the opportunity to immerse ourselves into a topic of interest, share our expertise and unleash some of our creativity through the medium of words for a couple of hours.

Artificial Intelligence, yet another buzzword of the moment, and whilst you might not exactly know what it is, I can assure you that all of us have experienced it in some way or another. It is essentially the idea that a machine can display the same amount of intelligence as a human being whilst performing a specific task.

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of partying with a great group of people on the banks of the River Thames at Bray. We were celebrating 10 years since The Business Forum was launched – a networking group that for the first 8 years of its life met monthly at Wellington College.

I recently had the opportunity to speak at an event hosted by Oracle in Reading. It was organised by the Institute of Directors and BCS Elite. The event was an “Unconference” – a first for me!
