Technology
Reshaping the world
This sector comprises businesses operating in biotechnology, e-commerce, computer devices and manufacturing, Internet services, comergent Media, entertainment & broadcast, semiconductors and development, and software.
These continue to need excellent people. Even more so than some industries, companies in these fields need to constantly invest for the future by growing tomorrow’s leaders. Technology never stands still, so technology companies must continue to move forward too.
The UK is one of the most attractive locations for outside companies to locate to when it comes to biotechnology. UK companies account for 40 per cent of biotech products at the development stage throughout Europe. Furthermore, 45 per cent of new biotech products in late-stage clinical trials in Europe are from the UK. All this makes the UK a lively hub for recruitment in this sector.
Ecommerce is also a vibrant area. While high street sales are in decline in many traditional outlets, even leading to the collapse of a number of well-known names, internet-based sales continue to rise. This is true of companies presenting an online sales offering as an alternate way of doing business, as well as those companies who have no physical stores or outlets. Again, this burgeoning growth has led to great demand for skilled individuals.
In broadcasting, the last two years has seen rapid changes in the way consumers interact with broadcast media. The advent of high definition TV, blu-ray technology and other innovations, coupled with technological advances in production and broadcasting technology, have made this an exciting and dynamic sector, creating vacancies for talented people.
