Welcome to Browne Jacobson’s 2015/16 annual review. It has been another memorable year in which we both met and, in many cases, exceeded expectations.
We were delighted to deliver organic growth for the seventh year in succession, posting a 9% increase in work done to over £64m. The momentum from 2014/15 carried on and the results were in line with our own high expectations. It was particularly pleasing to see each of our five offices achieving growth - a further sign that the major investments we have made in recent years in new office openings, people and infrastructure have really started to bed in and deliver.
Whilst year on year comparisons are significant, it is also critically important to take a step back to truly assess how the firm has performed and developed. In the last five years alone we have opened offices in Exeter and Manchester and moved to new locations in Nottingham and London. Financially we have grown turnover by over 80% since 2011 - and this has been achieved organically through retention and growth of our clients and people, as well as new strategic hires and client wins. This puts into perspective what an incredible journey we have been on and how the business has been transformed.

Fine-tuning your development environment means more than just getting your editor set up just so -- it means finding and setting up a variety of tools to take care of the mundane housekeeping chores that you have to do -- so you have more time to program, of course! I'll share the benefits of a number of yak shaving expeditions, including using App::GitGot to batch manage _all_ your git repos, App::MiseEnPlace to automate getting things _just_ so in your working environment, and a few others as time allows.

With the internet becoming essential for education, communication, livelihoods and government services and entitlements, access to the internet is no longer a privilege or luxury. Those who do not have access to the internet (or have rudimentary or limited access) will fall further and further behind in the digital age. The CCDS study examines the extent of digital inequality in a rapidly-expanding Indian metropolis and explores the barriers to internet access for the poor and marginalised.

EHR inefficiencies prevent physicians from providing optimal patient care, which causes burnout.

KCDD will be active in both the chronic disease prevention and digital inclusion aspects of the program.
