So it was in a demountable office in the car park of a hide factory in the industrial suburbs of Brisbane that Australia’s largest enterprise software company, TechnologyOne, was founded.

Now TechnologyOne is an ASX-150 company with 14 offices around the world, employing over 1,200 staff and investing $50 million in Australian innovation. Adrian’s incredible contributions to the Australian IT industry and business community have been recognised through many awards.
