I tried the big company thing for a year, but I realised that having that close family feel and working without bureaucracy made me happy. And I get that at Columbus. These words resonate with my own experience. In a corporate world often fraught with bureaucracy and a lack of personal connection, Columbus stands out by fostering an environment that values collaboration, camaraderie, and a sense of family.

My tenure at Columbus has been marked by not just professional growth but also a sense of belonging that comes with being part of a community that values its people. Many of us have been here for several years, contributing to the company's expansion and success. My own journey, starting as a Business Consultant within Dynamics in 2005 and now holding the title of VP of Dynamics, is a testament to Columbus's commitment to nurturing talent and retaining experienced professionals.

Our journey has seen a significant shift from a small team in Nottingham to a globally recognised organisation. The increasing collaboration and communication among colleagues from different countries reflect our commitment to a global approach. Columbus strategically positions itself to present a united front to customers, enhancing our brand image as a cohesive global entity.

Before the introduction of Opus, each Market Unit operated almost independently, posing challenges in presenting a unified front to clients. However, the implementation of common tools, methodologies, and ways of working has been a game-changer. It has not only facilitated smoother internal operations but has also strengthened Columbus's position as a reliable global partner.
