Very happy to announce I’ll be participating in TestBash 2025 through their Leading with Quality day down in Brighton. Hope to see you there!

A one-day educational experience to help business lead with expanding quality engineering and testing practices.

The quality space is evolving. This presents difficult challenges, with it also comes immense opportunity. The world is changing. Technology is becoming more complex. We need to innovate our ways, by exploring together.

What’s more… Our identity as people who care about quality needs love. We are the believers. We understand that quality does not happen on its own. It’s not just about testing or bugs, it’s about the whole system.

We want to help you lead this change. Together, we can find a pathway forward.
