Who are TDS?
We are a software consultancy, providing highly skilled consultants to support client business needs. Test Driven Solutions has had a successful start, with our consultants working across green/brown field projects using the latest cutting-edge technologies.
We work within private and public sectors, including financial services, government, healthcare, gaming, education, oil & gas, manufacturing, property, broadcasting, and renewable energy organizations. We are continuously growing as a business, with new client wins and an internal project ongoing.
What it's like to work at TDS
At TDS we uphold clear and unwavering values, fostering a community-oriented ethos that encourages close collaboration across our diverse disciplines. We hold regular team meet-ups, both online and in person, and monthly company-wide social events. In addition, we organize company away weekends, which have previously taken us to cities like Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Riga, and Dublin. These trips offer the team a chance to unwind and strengthen connections outside of the office. It is important to us to create an environment where strong connections are built and camaraderie is nurtured within our team.
Offering full hybrid working patterns to align with today’s flexible work environment, our team is spread across the UK, with members based in and around Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Inverness, and Birmingham. We are proud to have our modern UK headquarters on the Quayside in Newcastle’s city centre, with stunning views of the Glass House. This office serves as a central base of work for everyone, providing a collaborative space for our team when they come together. Earlier this year we opened a modern office space, located near Edinburgh’s Haymarket station as a base for our Scottish team to collaborate.
