RJJ Software is thrilled to announce that Jamie Taylor, the company’s founder and CTO, has been recognized with the Managing Director of the Year award for Most Visionary Software Development & Consultancy MD at the annual Managing Director Awards by SME News.
Since its launch in 2017, SME News has been dedicated to rewarding and celebrating the achievements of small businesses in Britain. Despite being the backbone of the economy and a major source of employment, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often receive less attention from the press and award programs. The Managing Director of the Year Awards by SME News aim to address this imbalance and give deserving SMEs the recognition they deserve. With the economy constantly evolving and the influence of large corporations being questioned, more customers are turning to SMEs for their needs, appreciating their flexibility and positive impact on local economies.
Based in Leeds, RJJ Software exemplifies this type of company. Established in 2018, the company leverages agile methods and cutting-edge software to offer tailored software development and podcast production services to a diverse clientele. With a strong commitment to the local community, RJJ supports other SMEs in Yorkshire through its purchasing policies and has recently introduced an apprenticeship program to nurture young talent interested in pursuing a career in technology.
As the founder of RJJ, Jamie Taylor brings a compassionate approach to communication and management, honed through his previous experience in teaching. He places great emphasis on continuous improvement, recognizing that there is always room for growth and development, regardless of the company’s success. Jamie and RJJ take pride in their position as an SME and are delighted to receive this esteemed award.
With its flexible work practices and community outreach initiatives, RJJ demonstrates that success and ethical practices go hand in hand, while still leaving room for expansion.
“I am committed to forging ahead with a growth mindset,” Jamie affirms. “We have plans to expand our operations and collaborate directly with business leaders in the Leeds area and beyond, in order to shine a spotlight on both Leeds and the UK as a whole.”
SMEs play a vital role in the economy, and the Managing Director of the Year award acknowledges Jamie and RJJ’s outstanding contributions in fulfilling this role.
