SWBI – A BRIEF HISTORY…
In the beginning, there were Dave, Fernando and the idea over a beer on a warm summers evening of forming something just a little bit different. Having witnessed for many a year the classical approach to consulting, the guys passionately believed that it could be delivered better: simpler, with more honesty and in a cost-effective way. That simple conversation grew into a business, conceived to pay the bills for sure, but to operate in such a way that we all sleep soundly at night knowing that we’re delivering real value and in the “right” way.
From a little acorn a sturdy oak tree grew (albeit with some growing pains along the way) to service a handful of clients with development expertise (and picked up Lee along the way). Staying true to their philosophy, Dave and Fernando have since steered SWBI to greater successes, forming strategic partnerships to widen the service offering, winning new business and growing the client base to take on new challenges.

OUR PARTNERS.
In the summer of July 2016 we joined forces with Saltare, a company that share our values and passion for delivering data solutions effectively and in the right way. Now Saltare are going places and if you have a spare few minutes, I’d urge you to have a quick look at their website and you can see why. With their innovative 4dBI framework, they complement our technical services with both expertise and experience of applying business intelligence to effect truly positive business change.
We began our partnership with Secure Cloud + in the latter half of 2017. They are specialists in delivering innovative ICT systems for both public sector and defence customers who have demanding security requirements. Working with Secure Cloud, we are on the road to providing data services to their existing and widening customer base, utilising our experience of providing solutions in sensitive business environments.
Having worked together on a number of major projects in the investment banking space ,we decided to partner with CQC as our complementary skills enhance both our offerings
