Today, 29th March 2022, Savient Limited turns 6 and here are six things that have happened in our company during the last year.

CSR Accreditation - last August we achieved Silver CSR Accreditation - it was a visible testimony of our excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility. The Accreditation shows we have integrated social responsibility initiatives throughout our business operations and these allow us to enrich the quality of lives for all by investing in social value as an essential part of an organisations culture.

Finalist - we were a finalist at the Gloucestershire Live Business Awards 2021 where we were able to celebrate alongside all the local businesses achievements and successes at the awards.  It was wonderful to be part of these long-established awards that encourage the best of Gloucestershire businesses and to continue to see their positive impact for the county.

New People - as a growing company we are always trying to recruit great team members and over the last year we have managed to add five new people across technical and non-technical roles. We are still growing, so please take a look at our social media channels and get in touch if you would like to join us.

Hackathons - the first of the Hackathons took place in April 2021 and was fully remote due to the lockdown restrictions. Two teams collaborated on different projects over 48 hours and each had a working prototype to demonstrate by the end of the second day!

The second was a (mostly) in person event where the whole team worked on many aspects surrounding our concept for a series of STEM puzzles that could be used in our schools outreach or career events. Lots of electronics, Raspberry Pi kit and and Edge TPU Coprocessor for some machine learning and computer vision.

By the end of the second day we had a framework for puzzle co-ordination as well as some initial puzzles to demonstrate - these have continued to be worked on as we prepare for our upcoming STEM workshops at one of our school outreach projects.

Outreach - during the last 12 months members of the Savient team have been supporting the Worcestershire local enterprise team and helped eight schools with their careers events. These events include a range of activities including mock interviews and career days and are a great way to engage with young people and share the exciting opportunities of the roles in the IT industry as well as being personally rewarding for the employees involved.

Blog launched - Savient's blog was launched in February 2022 as a place for posts across the range of topics we, as a company. care about. This allows us to showcase our wide range of CSR activities as well as explore more technical topics as well.
