Ark has now reached its ten-year anniversary and I’ve proudly witnessed the its growth from a small team to a company with circa twenty engineers delivering to multiple clients. Positive client feedback and being part of success project delivery is what I find most rewarding. This, of course, is only possible with the hard work and expertise of our team. I feel privileged to count these people amongst my friends and colleagues.
