Business Leader reports “A new national tech supercluster has launched in the West Midlands called SuperTech. SuperTech – the first professional services technology (ProfTech) supercluster in the UK – is open to firms across the country and aims to increase technology-led productivity gains within business and professional services organisations.”

“Eight industry leaders from finance, law, property and technology have been chosen to head up SuperTech including David Stewart, Group Chief Operating Officer at Wesleyan, Tony Randle, Partner at Shoosmiths, Simon Davis CEO of Nimbus Maps along with Inez Brown, president of Birmingham Law Society.”
