Searchability's Chris Hopley launched this event in 2019 in collaboration with the recruitment team from Iceland Foods in an effort to bring a stronger tech presence to our HQ City of Chester. The first event was a roaring success with full attendance, plenty of food and drinks and some really inspiring talks from Stuart Bickley (Head of Application Development at Iceland Foods), Patrick Gawley (Integration Architect at Iceland Foods) as well as Garry Meaburn (Lead Cloud Architect at Barclays).
