The Watford Foodbank is providing an important community contribution and helping many people in need. Addin365 believe everyone's needs should be met and that is why helping the Watford foodbank is important to us.

  Equal opportunity

  Despite the fact that only 26% of the UK tech workforce are women, according to the Women in Tech Survey 2023, we are determined to change this. Our social impact strategy includes support initiatives that empower women to enter and thrive in the tech industry. From early career days for female graduates to back to work programmes for new mothers and guidance for female entrepreneurs seeking funding for growth, we are actively working to create a more inclusive and equitable tech industry. At Addin365 we are looking to make a difference through multiple avenues. We participated in a roundtable hosted by WM People focusing on foregrounding best practice in SME recruitment and retention. This event was a valuable opportunity to learn from other SME leaders and to contribute to the ongoing conversation on how to create a more sustainable, inclusive and innovative SME sector. We were also a speaker at the "Scaling Up Your Business and Exercising a High Growth Mindset" event. Our CEO, Suzy Dean had the privilege of sharing her knowledge and experience with entrepreneurs, especially women, as to how to scale their businesses. We were also able to provide a portion of the tickets for this event to Everywoman, whose mission is to contribute to a more diverse, energised and profitable tech sector. We have also participated in STEM events, and were able to sponsor the Everywoman Tech Forum Early Careers Day and share our insights and experiences with aspiring female STEM graduates.
