The future of TechMarketView LLP

Our longstanding readers will know that TechMarketView LLP has grown considerably since Anthony and I founded the business back in 2008. We now have a team of 16, plus a growing number of associates, delivering top notch research and analysis on the UK tech market. As a business, we are also doing more than ever before in addition to this core research – from providing advisory services to the top management of some of the leading players in the UK market, running hugely successful events such as our recent LBB100 drinks reception or the Evening with TechMarketView in October, to launching new programmes to support the UK’s Great British Scaleups .   

As TechMarketView continues to grow and evolve, the time is right to expand the leadership team and we are therefore delighted to announce that Tola Sargeant will take up the new role of Managing Director from 1 May 17. Tola has been a Director at TechMarketView since 2009 and we’ve worked together in previous guises for the best part of two decades. An experienced analyst from our Public Sector practice, Tola has also been managing our Client Services team and Events for the last few years and is ideally suited to the MD role.   

Tola has put together an experienced Executive Team which includes:

-       Kate Hanaghan as Chief Research Officer

-       Georgina O’Toole as Chief Analyst

-       Deb Seth as Sales & Marketing Director.

This in no way means that Anthony & I are disappearing. But we do have to realise that neither of us is getting any younger and that the worst mistake many small businesses make is not thinking about succession planning until it is too late. We have often joked that our main role in TechMarketView was having lunch and dinner- and that’s exactly what we intend to continue doing long into the future.

Anthony & I are immensely proud of what we have achieved together. Perhaps our main achievement has been putting together and growing the very best team that anyone could wish for. This move is all about giving them the responsibility and incentive to continue TechMarketView’s growth way into the future.
