TEC Partners: Tech Corridor ambassadors

May 28, 2021

Having proudly been named on the Future50 list in 2019, we were delighted to also be an ambassador for the Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor.

The Tech Corridor is a public-private partnership which aims to bring together businesses, academics, and political leaders on a mission to grow the region’s economy.

With over 100km of opportunity across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk for start-ups, growing businesses, and investors, the Tech Corridor is rapidly becoming known as Europe’s most exciting growth story.

The initiative focuses on supporting indigenous growth and increased productivity in the region by creating a cross-sector ecosystem to drive collaboration and build on strong regional supply chains, as well as retaining and attracting talent and long-term investment.

As technical recruiters, we are also delighted to be involved with one of the Tech corridor’s Special Interest Group: The Talent Taskforce, which focuses on supporting efforts to attract and retain talent throughout the region.

Speaking about becoming Tech Corridor Ambassadors, our Commercial Director Dan Benson says: “We were proud to be involved in the first Tech Corridor meet up and workshops which took place at Hethel Technology Park back in 2018."

“The Tech Corridor presents an exciting opportunity for innovation and collaborative thinking and we are in a unique position. Our three founders set out to disrupt the traditional recruitment market by offering bespoke and highly technical recruitment solutions to our clients."

The initiative provides a platform for key businesses across the region to engage and discuss the technological challenges and skills required to carry us into the next decade and beyond. We are building specialist teams who focus on Big Data, AI, Machine Learning, Automation and the cross over between Science, Engineering and the more traditional Information Technology space, and it is this expertise that we want to bring into the Tech Corridor, which is why we are excited to be involved within the Talent Taskforce Special Interest Group.

“TEC Partners are passionate ambassadors and we were previously named as one of the region’s ‘ones to watch’ as part of the Future50 2019, and we look forward to sharing our knowledge and experience with the group.”

The Hidden Cost of Waiting: When a Specialist Contractor Is the Right Answer September 14, 2026

When an important technical position remains unfilled, it can be tempting to focus on the recruitment cost or the salary temporarily being saved. The real cost is usually happening elsewhere. A project milestone moves. A software release is delayed. A security vulnerability remains unresolved. Existing employees take on responsibilities outside their core roles. Managers spend more time working around the skills gap than solving it. In those situations, the question should not simply be: “Who do we need to hire?” It should be: “What do we need to deliver, by when, and what is the most effective way to secure the capability?” For some requirements, a permanent employee will unquestionably be the right answer. For others, waiting for a permanent recruitment process to conclude can create a far greater commercial risk than engaging a specialist contractor.

At TEC Partners, we're seeing this shift play out directly in the briefs we're supporting across the UK and beyond. So we wanted to break down what's actually changed, what employers should be looking for, and what it means if you're hiring or job hunting in this space right now.
