From international games developers to specialist niche providers such as EdTech companies, Horsham has it all. At Madesimplemedia, we are very proud of our Horsham roots, and so we’ve put together this guide covering what some of our tech neighbours are getting up to in their respective industries.

Creative Assembly - Gaming industry

One of Horsham’s largest, and certainly one of the most innovative, Creative Assembly has a devoted worldwide fan base as a result of its inventive gameplay, historical authenticity and painstaking attention to detail. Best known for the highly acclaimed Total War series, Creative Assembly has dabbled in other well-known properties such as Alien: Isolation and the most recent entry into the fantasy realm of Warhammer. The organisation, which is made up of a team of passionate and dedicated individuals, has promoted an innovative and creative culture where workers are inspired to push the limits of what the gaming industry can do.

Recently, Creative Assembly launched “The Legacy Project”, an extensive archive that explores the history of the studio, from its modest origins to its current status as one of the top game developers.  It provides a priceless resource for scholars, enthusiasts, and game developers to learn about the progress of technology, the creative process, and the influence of Creative Assembly's work on the gaming industry. Their work has been recognised through multiple awards including a BAFTA.

As an employer, Creative Assembly has been recognised as one of the Best Places to Work for six consecutive years thanks to the people-centric approach that prioritises health, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion.

Global 4 - IT and communications

From one award winner to another, Global 4 are another Horsham-based organisation leading the way in their industry. Recently crowned the ‘Reseller of the Year’, Global 4 specialist in offering a complete technology service including business broadband, telephone systems, energy and security. 

Based in Queen Street, Global 4 have built a reputation for excellent customer service by recognising the needs, wants and challenges of their customers. With expertise gained over 25 years of growth and solution delivery, Global 4 are well positioned to help companies to de-risk their adoption of technology.
 

Chess Dynamics - Defence and security provider

With 30 years of experience, Chess Dynamics' portfolio encompasses a wide range of products, from state-of-the-art maritime and land-based surveillance systems to precision weapon-tracking technologies. Their systems are employed in various critical applications, including border security, naval operations and the protection of strategic assets. Chess Dynamics have supplied various types of equipment to defence leaders and prime contractors for the last 15 years, ensuring that their clients have the tools and technology needed to address complex security challenges effectively.

Netcom and Octotech - IT Solutions

Horsham is very well supported when it comes to IT solutions. NetCom and Octotech are just two of the IT specialists that call Horsham home. 

With a focus on advanced communication solutions, both Netcom and Octotech have consistently delivered reliable IT infrastructure and smooth communication services for customers local and farther afield. Their joint accomplishments include putting cutting-edge networking solutions, cloud services and cybersecurity safeguards into practice with success, giving clients more security and efficiency in their digital operations.

Class Technology - EdTechnology 

Given Horsham's excellent schools and college, it is easy to understand why the region would also have a thriving education technology industry. Class Technology offers IT solutions and support services that are designed specifically for the educational sector. As a trusted technology partner for many local schools, Class Technology has the expertise to both deliver and provide ongoing support for the technology used to deliver the desired teaching and learning outcomes.

Their team focuses on delivering sensible and realistic digital marketing solutions such as SEO and Social Media packages that help local businesses to survive and thrive.
