Our take

Remote and freelance work is increasingly becoming a major part of the British tech industry. Distributed’s Elastic Team platform allows business clients to describe the technical outcome they require and then uses AI to connect the client to a globally remote network of software engineering talent.

Its ultimate goal is to make great work available to millions of digital specialists worldwide, while simultaneously removing resourcing, HR and talent headaches for businesses of all sizes. It counts the likes of Mastercard, RBS and REISS among its customers.

Due to the distribution of global workforces from in-office to remote and the rapid shift in market focus towards scalable, distributed software delivery solutions, Distributed is perfectly poised to scale up delivery capacity and soak up the increased demand. Additionally, the company's ongoing partnership with BT has helped position Distributed as a key player in the UK's transformation into a global hub for the digital innovation economy.
