2024 has been a busy and successful year for the team at Know-it.  We’ve attended events across the UK, grown our company head count and celebrated many occasions and milestones.  This is in addition to platform updates, a record number of sign-ups and internal system advances. 

Here’s some highlights from our year! 

Success at Elite Business Live 

We had a great time attending Elite Business Live in London in March.  Here are the key takeaways from our panel with CEO & Founder of Know-it Lynne Darcey Quigley: 

>Technology is a must have in every business if you want to grow-don’t get left behind.

> Take advantage of free trials to show what technology can offer, this should be enough time to make an impact in your business! 
> Ask for payment! Never be afraid, it’s easy to send the initial invoice and not chase it up – speak to your customer.
