Propel Tech

♻️ Today is Global Recycling Day – a perfect time to highlight our Re-Tech initiative! ♻️ In partnership with Wakefield Technology 4 All, we’re calling on businesses and individuals to donate old laptops, tablets, and phones. These devices will be regenerated and distributed to people and organisations that need them the most, helping to close the digital divide. 💻 In the UK, IT equipment makes up a large part of the 200,000 tonnes of business e-waste discarded each year. 🌍 Meanwhile, 10 million adults remain digitally excluded, and 1 in 20 households lack home internet access. By donating your unused tech, you’re not only reducing e-waste but also giving someone access to education, job opportunities, and vital services.

Which sectors see AI as a force for good, and who are the sceptics?

It's a common scenario: a company has invested heavily in a software solution, but over time, it starts to encounter issues. They don’t want to throw everything away and start from scratch – it's a significant investment, after all. Instead, they need a partner who can improve and enhance the existing system. As an expert in bespoke software and system improvements, Propel Tech worked with Simply Washrooms | B Corp™ to stabilise and enhance its existing compliance platform, rather than completely rebuilding it. This approach is a sensible solution for many companies, as improving existing software is often more cost-effective and practical than starting from scratch. The Operations Director at Simply Washrooms shared his experience: "Simply Washrooms isn’t a technical company, so we really appreciated how Propel Tech made the process seamless. The team took on the job with ease, and not only made the improvements we needed but now provides ongoing maintenance to help us evolve our systems in real time. We feel confident using the system, and it’s saved us time. Plus, the developers speak plain English – no complicated technical jargon – and they’re friendly, talented, and easy to work with."

As curious bespoke software developers who love turning possibilities into reality, we’re always eager to hear different perspectives on tech and its potential to change the world. That’s why we conducted a nationwide survey with 2,120 UK professionals across all sectors to understand what people really think about software and AI. 🤖 One of the most intriguing findings was how differently sectors view AI’s potential impact. 37% (780 respondents) believe AI will transform lives for the better. However, the majority, 53%, feel the risks outweigh the benefits. You could say AI is a bit of a Marmite topic, with opinions split across sectors like retail, IT, media, energy, healthcare, finance, and the creative industries. Want to dive deeper into the results? Check out this article in the Yorkshire Post. This is our second year running this study - if you missed out this time, keep your eyes peeled in early 2026. #AI #TechTrends #BespokeSoftware #SurveyResults #BreakingNews

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, we extend our heartfelt wishes of Ramadan Mubarak to all our team members and followers who are celebrating. We recognise the importance of this time for spiritual reflection, prayer, and community, and are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for our Muslim colleagues. Flexible working arrangements - We understand that fasting from dawn to sunset can influence energy levels and daily routines, so team members who are fasting are welcome to adjust their lunch breaks into shorter, more frequent rest breaks throughout the day, as well as modify their start and finish times. Prayer facilities - We provide designated quiet spaces within our office premises for prayer and reflection. Life event day dff for Eid - To celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, all employees are entitled to a Life Event Day Off in addition to their annual leave. An inclusive workplace - For team members not participating in Ramadan, we encourage awareness and understanding of the practices and potential challenges faced by colleagues who are fasting. For example, we ask all our colleagues to consider scheduling meetings earlier in the day when energy levels may be higher and be mindful of not eating or drinking during meetings with fasting colleagues. Educational resources - The Ramadan guide produced by the Muslim Council of Britain is a great resource for understanding of Ramadan and its significance. It offers valuable insights and specific guidance for employers and line managers on creating an inclusive environment during this period: https://lnkd.in/ekteU8iY #RamadanMubarak
