congratulations, shame they didn't spell your name correctly though but with the Scottish Developers link there can be no confusion. The rankings and company information (and your claim to fame) are also available online - http://top100.nma.co.uk/detail_template.php?agency_id=67&section_id=3

Hi Colin,

I had no idea that the "media" was aware the Scottish Developers existed. You must be doing something right!

Cheers
Barry

Your wasting your talents in 'new media' I'd head off else where. top 1 financial turnover means nothing, and there reputation in the development world is less than desirable.

@Peter I don't think I am wasting my talents. A lot of the work that I do is writing the software for the business processes that back the the public facing websites. That involves quite a bit of effort beyond what a traditional digital agency would be capable of.

Past reputation is not indicative of future performance.

In fact, it was challenges like these that attracted me to the job in the first place. The traditional digital agency approach to software development does not work on the larger projects that we deal with. In those cases a change of process was required so that the software development team could operate in a more efficient and effective way. I have, in part, helped bring about those changes.

I do struggle with significant number of developers who have heard about or experienced the way software development was tackled here before. However, I'm confident that if they saw the results of my and Robert Graham's continuing efforts then they would find it a challenge to maintain that negative viewpoint.
