Rowden

"I really want to build something and be able to say that it was possible – in a country with incredible engineering heritage, with really good universities, and brilliant available talent – to grow a multinational engineering company." This weekend, Rowden was ranked 13th on the Sunday Times 100 Tech hardware and other category. Robert Harper shared his journey in the How I Made It feature. https://lnkd.in/eF85VQvG

Rowden is exhibiting at UK Home Office's Security & Policing 2025 expo. Come by booth D133 to learn about how we’re supporting the resilience community with situational awareness and real-time translation toolkits built for the operational realities of sensitive and intermittent network environments.

Our Tech Services team works closely with customers, tackling their most complex technology and engineering challenges. The team is hands-on, thrives in fast-paced environments, and is dedicated to delivering real impact. We need a leader to drive this forward – scaling and refining how we support delivery, ensuring our people succeed while staying closely connected to the wider Rowden business. We’re looking for: • Experience leading technical teams in consulting or advisory roles, balancing deep technical expertise with commercial and operational demands. • A strong customer focus, understanding their challenges and translating complex problems into practical solutions. • The ability to take ownership of a critical function within a fast-growing company, shaping how we grow and operate at scale. This is a senior role with real responsibility – if it sounds like you (or someone you know), take a look and apply below: https://lnkd.in/ecc6TTUf

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service needs real-time situational awareness that works in high-risk and remote environments. Through CivTech Scotland Challenge 10.1, we’re building a cloud-to-edge solution that ensures the right data reaches the right people at the right time. Our approach prioritises real-time risk assessment, secure information sharing, and automated alerts, ensuring responders have the intelligence they need before, during, and after incidents. CivTech is about solving real-world public and third sector problems with real-world solutions. This is British engineering applied where it matters. Proud to be part of the project.

We’re proud to share that Rowden has been listed in The Sunday Times 100 Tech, recognising Britain’s fastest-growing private technology companies. This recognition is both humbling and energising. From our base in Bristol - the birthplace of Concorde - we’re part of a city and a country with a storied engineering legacy. We’re proud to stand alongside a new wave of British companies building solutions that matter and pushing boundaries both in the UK and globally. The journey has been hard-fought. Exhausting, exhilarating, and always worth it. But our mission remains constant: build hardware and software solutions that enable operations where they’re needed most - at the edge, where connectivity is unreliable, and decisions must be made in real time. To everyone who’s been part of the journey so far: thank you. And to those ready to join us - whether as partners, collaborators, or team members - the road ahead is exciting, and there’s so much more to build. #sundaytimes100 https://lnkd.in/erPytxjS

The Resilience Conference is focused on translating vital observations from the conflict in Ukraine into actionable strategies for the wider allied security community. There is huge momentum across industry, government and the investment community to meet evolving operational demands, but we have few opportunities to come together and discuss both our progress and our challenges. Our roundtable at Resilience, co-hosted with Dr Simona R. Soare, PhD, will address these issues in detail. A special thanks to Leslie Hitchcock, Matt Burns, and Dr Tobias Stone for bringing this community together—ensuring that key voices are part of the conversation. Rowden is proud to support this important initiative.
