Petabytes of QC and not a Blunderbu in sight.

Petabytes of QC and not a Blunderbuss in sight. The following is a press release announcing an exciting new partnership with our friends Vidcheck who are based across the bridge in Bristol. It used to be the case that a Welsh person could be legally shot with bow and arrow, or later a blunderbuss (more urban legend than fact IMHO), for crossing the border on certain days. So pleased that they repealed that one (though only in the last 10 years it seems!).

As it says in the release we are very happy to be working with another technology/customer led company with ambitions that match our own. It is also further proof that not all intellectual property in the UK is created in London or Cambridge!
