What does agility mean to you? Why do companies relocate to the UK? What is so attractive about the Thames Valley? Do you occupy the 'right time zone' to be an efficient, agile business?

Following our first podcast episode where we talked about the people side of business, our second podcast looks at international business agility. We spoke to Tom Rogers, Director of International Marketing at Rapid7 and Mark Heath, CTO at Cloudfactory about how they operate as international businesses and what attracted their organisations to the UK.

Rapid7's SecOps platform is used by over 7,000 organisations in more than 120 countries, including 52% of the Fortune 100. Headquartered in Boston, they have 17 offices across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia and a regional headquarters in Theale, Reading.

CloudFactory are leaders in the Impact Sourcing movement and aim to connect 1 million people to online work while raising them up as leaders to address poverty in their own communities. They have five offices globally including one in the Thames Valley.
