As we wrap up another eventful year, we wanted to reflect on the successes that have shaped our journey as a trusted software development and AI consultancy firm. From expanding our network and launching new initiatives, to celebrating milestones with our clients and team members, it’s been an incredible ride.
Growing Our Network
We’re proud to announce that RJJ Software has joined the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, marking an exciting new chapter in our commitment to business growth and community engagement. This affiliation not only enhances our professional network but also provides us with opportunities for collaboration and knowledge-sharing with like-minded organisations.
One of the highlights of our chamber membership was being invited to participate in a trade mission to the UAE in 2025. We’re eager to explore new markets, forge meaningful connections, and learn from international expertise that will undoubtedly enrich our services and help drive RJJ Software’s continued success. Keep an eye open for a press release about our participation in the trade mission in early 2025.
This mission provides us with a platform to showcase our services and connect with potential clients. We’re also grateful for the guidance and mentorship offered by the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, which has been invaluable in helping us navigate the ever-changing landscape of business and technology, and am looking forward to sending Jamie on this mission.
Sponsoring Excellence
We were thrilled to sponsor an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Computer Science department at the University of Hull. This prestigious institution has a rich history of innovation and academic excellence, and we’re honoured to have played a part in commemorating this significant milestone.
Jamie Taylor, our very own Microsoft MVP, was invited to attend the event and share his expertise on the latest trends and technologies in software development. It was an incredible experience, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with the next generation of computer science students and professionals.
The event also featured a special keynote speech by Professor Neil Gordon, who shared his vision for the future of the Computer Science department. With ongoing advancements in AI research, it’s clear that this field will continue to play a vital role in shaping our world. We were inspired by his words and are committed to continuing our partnership with the University of Hull and other institutions that share our values.
Jamie’s Contributions
Our very own Jamie Taylor has been an inspiration throughout the year, continuing to volunteer his time as a facilitator at Andy’s Man Club. This vital work supports men who have experienced trauma, providing them with a safe space to share their experiences and connect with others.
We’re proud of Jamie for dedicating himself to this important cause and look forward to seeing more initiatives like this in the future. His commitment to community service is just one example of his exceptional leadership skills and dedication to making a positive impact.
On the professional front, Jamie has maintained his status as a Microsoft MVP for the third consecutive year. This prestigious recognition is a testament to his expertise, dedication to the technology industry, and commitment to staying at the forefront of technology innovation.
Client Successes
We’re delighted to have collaborated with some fantastic clients throughout the year, delivering successful projects that have helped them achieve their goals. One notable example is our work with an esteemed motor racing team, where we optimised their database communication using Entity Framework Core.
This project was a great example of how RJJ Software can help businesses, across all industries and niches, compete in today’s fast-paced and competitive markets. By leveraging the latest technologies and expertise, we were able to help the team achieve significant improvements in their performance and efficiency.
Another success story involves our green computing initiative, which has enabled a major software development company to adopt more sustainable practices. We’re proud of our work on this project, which showcases our ability to balance business needs with environmental responsibility.
We’ve also received numerous accolades for our recent case studies, including the successful implementation of new features to OwaspHeaders.Core and the resolution of audio issues for an Umbraco MVP client. These projects demonstrate our technical expertise, attention to detail, and ability to deliver high-quality solutions that meet even the most demanding requirements.
Awards and Recognition
The year has also seen RJJ Software receive numerous awards and recognition for our contributions to digital transformation in this field. We’re thrilled to have been recognised for our work on projects such as the Green Computing Initiative and the client projects that we can discuss in public.
Our Digital Transformation Rising Star award at the UK Business Awards was a highlight of the year, and we’re grateful to the judges and organisers for their support. This recognition is just one example of the many awards and nominations we’ve received this year, and we’re proud to be part of such a prestigious community of businesses.
Press Coverage and Community Engagement
We’ve enjoyed engaging with various media outlets throughout the year, including press interviews with Jamie Taylor on our Digital Transformation Rising Star win and a feature in UK Business Awards. We’re also proud of our social media presence, which has helped us connect with a wider audience and promote our services to potential clients.
Jamie was interviewed by Stephanie Fuccio as part of the International Podcast Day, in the second half of the year. International Podcast Day is a celebration of podcasts and podcasters, initially created by Stephanie and adopted by indy podcasters as a great way to help celebrate the work involved in creating and publishing podcasts, in all their forms.
During the interview, Jamie shared his experience in maintaining a dedicated LinkedIn page specifically for his podcast, which helps him identify and connect with people who are interested in his show. He also highlighted that having a strong online presence can be used to demonstrate potential sponsors or advertisers the impact of their partnership. Jamie’s inclusion in Stephanie’s event showcases his dedication to sharing knowledge and learning from others within the podcasting communit.y
