GARNET8 was founded by Chris Cook, 33, a local who grow up in Burridge and went to school at St Mary's in Bittern. Chris founded GARNET8 after returning from working as an IT contractor in Europe. He developed GARNET8 Collaboration Clouds (G8CC) from issues he noticed that affected businesses operated by his family.
GARNET8 has already been recognised as an innovative tech leader by the Government. In September Chris was invited to 11 Downing Street by Elizabeth Truss MP, as one of the counties Business and GovTech leaders. From this GARNET8 wrote a white-paper demonstrating how Governments can create an automatically caring society, building upon value, allowing front-line staff to address citizen needs faster, at a lower total cost.
GARNET8 has a mission to provide genuinely innovative, simple and high-quality solutions to Government Departments and Businesses of all sizes. They are now being recognised for their innovation at awards, by being short listed against household names and multi billion-dollar organisations.

Looking to the future GARNET8 sees an opportunity to expand from its Botley base, with great transport links and access to talented, innovators from local colleges and universities in the local area. It offers fantastic opportunities for an innovative local organisation being recognised as a national innovator.
