"During the last 12 months, we've seen a growing demand for data skills that enable businesses to build meaningful solutions that unlock value. 

 

"Tech businesses in the UK have an important role to play in educating and empowering young people so that they have the skills to help bridge the widening UK digital skills gap."

Infinity Works is a market leader with deep expertise in the field, plus one of a growing list of companies from Leeds making an important contribution to the wider UK tech sector."
