THUNDERHEAD RANKED IN THE 2021 DELOITTE TECHNOLOGY FAST 50

Leader in technology for Customer Engagement and Journey Orchestration named one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the UK for the second consecutive year.

Thunderhead today announced its inclusion in the 2021 Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the UK. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over the preceding four years. Thunderhead grew 882 percent during this period, and attributes its growth to the rapid adoption of its customer journey analytics and journey orchestration platform that drives customer engagement for global enterprise brands. Thunderhead CEO Glen Manchester credits their impressive customer success globally across multiple industry sectors to the company’s unique fusion of AI-driven journey orchestration and real-time interaction management. He commented, “As a pioneer and leader in journey-based customer engagement, our growth reflects the massive market demand for our new generation of technology, which unites and orchestrates all conversations and journeys between a brand and its customers. This concept lies at the heart of our Customer Operating System™ (CoS), replacing outdated legacy and siloed technologies with a new era of autonomous orchestration.”

Duncan Down, lead partner for the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 programme, said: “The extraordinary growth of this year’s Fast 50 represents the remarkable tenacity of the UK’s technology industry. Deloitte’s 2021 Fast 50 awards are a clear demonstration of the wealth of talent, creativity, and entrepreneurship in the UK’s technology industry today.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
