“The investment will provide the platform to build upon our exceptional growth as APSU develops and expands our unique feature-rich, cloud-based offerings for the UK, Europe and worldwide markets”
This will not only provide further tech jobs to the South-West region but will continue to strengthen the South-West’s increasing hold as the biggest tech hub in the UK, outside of London.

“The investment by BGF will provide the platform to build upon our exceptional growth as APSU develops and expands our unique feature-rich, cloud-based offerings for the UK, Europe and worldwide markets.”
