Like Technologies and BECBC

Increasing our visibility was something we set out to achieve in 2023. We wanted more people to know about us and what we do. It’s a fine balance, making ourselves more visible by attending events alongside being in the office and working in the business. A small team we might be but by collectively making…

Progressing into 2024

Progress is what we will achieve in 2024. Our projects, and people, will progress as we work with new and existing clients and partners.  Reminded of Audi and their series of adverts relating to progress, which you can watch here, the statements that “progress is anything but a straight path” and “making progress requires an open mind” are relevant…

Searching for the ‘doing’ words

We’ve spoken about our hardware and software engineers before and if you look at the case studies on our website, they’re likely to be about our workshop team. It can be trickier to tell you about the work our IS team get up to but that doesn’t mean it’s any less important. They’ve recently supported…

Just two, not fifty-two.

At Like Technologies, there’s not a lot we say no to. Often, an existing client will ask us to reproduce a product and our answer will be along the lines of, “let’s take a look first, but yes, I’m sure we’ll be able to help you.” In the most recent case, we were asked to…
