Our focus is to bring the local Tech community together over insightful talks, good food, and conversation.

About us

The Fusion Group is newly formed and brings together two existing and successful businesses, Technical Team Solutions and Fusion Meetups and combines them with a third and newer brand, Fusion Workshops. Founded in 2013 Technical Team Solutions (now known as Fusion Talent) had built a reputation for combining the best talent with some of finest innovators in Midlands Tech. Operating as a small business allowed us to work on a more personal level, and build great relationships with our clients that are going strong today. Working in this collaborative way allowed us to see that there was a clear need for a non-corporate, sales-free space in which Tech professionals could get together, learn and share ideas in an informal, sociable environment; Fusion Meetup was born. Launched in 2014, the first Fusion Meetup saw 30 Midlands Tech professionals enjoy inspiring talks from expert speakers, served up alongside the finest street-food Birmingham had to offer. In just under four months, the guest list grew rapidly to 120 and it’s now been recognised and supported by the likes of Microsoft, Samsung and Vonage. In 2016 we ran our first workshop with Troy Hunt, and from that point Fusion Workshops was born. Since then we’ve run workshops with Microsoft and The Ministry of Testing, and we’re committed to continually creating further unique opportunities like these to support and promote continued learning for all. We’re big believers in the local Tech eco-system, and we invest in a number of local Tech-driven initiatives; including Silicon Canal, School of Code, BrumHack, CovHack, Hackference and Hack The Midlands. For our founders Hannah and Andy, who have both worked in the industry for over a decade and are passionate about Midlands Tech, it made sense to bring everything we do together in one place and so here we are; welcome to the Fusion Family.

    First Fusion Meetup of the year... done! The Birmingham tech scene was out in force! 💪🏻 Hope you all had a great evening and took something valuable away from the talks. A huge thank you to our speakers 🫶: Abdi Timer Lucy Wilson Gavin Neate & Daniel Roe 🏡 , our supporters Develo & TechWM and everyone who joined us last night. On a personal note...Thank you to everybody who came and spoke to me about my job search - it's massively appreciated! I’m still looking for my next opportunity...somewhere I can bring this same community-driven approach to building and scaling high-performing tech teams. Just imagine if your business had regular access to a highly engaged, diverse, and talented pool of engineers...all eager to learn, collaborate, and grow. If you're looking for someone then let’s chat! Also, look how I easy I can lock a load of developers in a room! 🤷🏻♂️ (please don't take that seriously 🤣) As Hannah Mitchell said last night...we need your help! To keep Fusion Meetup running into 2025, we’re looking for sponsors, so if you’re interested in getting involved, please reach out for more details! See you at the next one! 🫡 #FusionMeetup #TechCommunity #Hiring #TalentPipeline #JobSearch #Sponsorship #TechEvents #Birmingham

  • At Fusion Meetup, we believe the best tech communities thrive when people come together to share knowledge, spark new ideas, and build something great 💡 That’s why we’re excited to have TechWM supporting tonight’s event! Their mission to grow and champion the West Midlands tech ecosystem aligns perfectly with what Fusion is all about: innovation, collaboration, and creating opportunities for the local tech community to learn and connect. With their support, we’re continuing to make Birmingham a place where tech talent and ideas can flourish. Looking forward to another great evening with the community....see you there! (We are currently sold out, but if you're interested in coming along...get yourself on the waitlist and we'll let you know if a ticket comes available - link in comments 🙂 ) #Birmingham #Technology #Software #TechMeetup #Innovation

    I'm looking for companies to partner with to deliver virtual hackathons at School Of Code 💻👇🏻 These events give junior developers a platform to work on real-world problems, building standout CVs and portfolios that set them apart in a competitive job market. 🌟 What we'd require from you: 🤔Hackathon Challenge: A meaningful problem for participants to solve. ❓Kick-Off Participation: Time on the launch day to explain the challenge and run a Q&A session. 👀Judging Support: Time to review and judge submissions. I'll take care of everything else 💪 ... We've run some amazing in-person and virtual hackathons this year with SandboxAQ, Technology from Sage, TravelPerk, and Good Growth...which has had a huge impact on boot campers profiles 🫶 🚀 💡 Imagine being part of a collaborative initiative that drives innovation, diversity, and growth in tech. If you’re interested in making an impact, drop me a DM! I’d love to explore how we can work together.
