Jason Bramsden is MD for UK, Ireland and Middle East at DVT, a Dynamic Technologies group company, based in London. He joined DVT in 2020 in a role that involves investing in and growing long-term partnerships while providing real value to clients. “My focus is building strong relationships with clients and prospects, understanding their SDLC challenges and aligning them with the solutions DVT can deliver.”
Bramsden’s knack for problem-solving and his technical skills were developed at an early age. Coding started as a hobby as he taught himself to create games for the TRS-80 Color Computer his parents bought for him and his brother. He then taught himself Turbo Pascal for his GCSE project, and his ability to learn new languages, debug effectively and adapt have been core strengths throughout his career. He has worked in ATM software, built warehouse management systems for brands such as Reebok and Sony Music, dabbled in order management and spent 15 years in eCommerce. Embracing his entrepreneurial nature, he founded five companies – some successful, others less so – and eventually he expanded into South Africa where he gained big-name clients.
How are you helping to drive DVT's international growth strategy?
My team is central to DVT’s international growth and we’re showing that South Africa is the ideal location for near-shore talent, from software developers to data and AI engineers, combining technical excellence, cultural alignment and competitive cost. Our headcount and sales team have expanded to meet growing demand and to ensure that clients see us as a strategic partner.
The UK business, in particular, has grown consistently over the past five years, winning high-profile clients such as Utilita and People’s Postcode Lottery.
More recently, AI has become the driving force behind many of the changes our clients are looking for. Businesses now expect their partners to help them harness AI to increase productivity, improve code quality and accelerate delivery. DVT has invested heavily in AI expertise, and we’re now running dedicated workshops to show clients how to integrate AI effectively into their development processes. This shift has positioned us as a trusted advisor in helping companies turn AI from a buzzword into tangible business value.
How do you see DVTs future unfolding?
I believe the UK and Middle East will soon account for DVT’s largest clients, with most of our consultants working internationally. This shift will be driven by the increasing demand for AI-powered development.
Clients want partners who can help them leverage AI to create more innovative solutions. DVT has built strong capabilities in this space, running AI advisory workshops and guiding clients on how to embed AI into their SDLC for real impact. Combined with our near-shore time zone alignment, English fluency and strong cultural fit, this AI-led approach will help us grow our international footprint while ensuring that our clients stay ahead of the technology curve.
Is DVT’s focus still on Cloud Application Development and related services?
Yes, Cloud Application Development remains a core part of what we do, especially as a Microsoft partner with competencies in Azure Cloud Platform, DevOps, Application Development and Data Analytics. Those capabilities continue to be essential for building scalable, secure and high-performing solutions for our clients.
However, AI has now become a central layer on top of that cloud foundation. Clients want intelligent, data-driven systems that can adapt, automate and deliver insights in real time. Our wide-ranging cloud expertise means we can guide them through that transformation; the cloud is still the engine, AI is now the turbocharger.
What are some of DVT’s most dynamic partnerships?
Alongside our long-standing partnership with Microsoft, which continues to be a cornerstone for our Azure Cloud Platform, DevOps, Application Development and Data Analytics work, we’re seeing exciting growth in our relationships with AWS and Databricks.
AWS is enabling us to deliver even more flexible, scalable cloud solutions for clients across multiple regions, while Databricks is opening powerful new capabilities in data engineering, machine learning and AI-driven analytics. Both are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI, and we’re working closely with them to help our clients unlock that potential, whether it’s optimising their data pipelines, embedding AI into their software delivery lifecycle or building intelligent applications that can adapt and learn in real time.
These partnerships are about co-innovating with the best in the industry so that our clients stay ahead of the curve in an AI-first future.
How important are building and maintaining relationships in this business?
Strong client relationships are the foundation of everything we do. Technology and methodologies evolve quickly but trust is what keeps clients coming back and turning one-off projects into long-term partnerships.
We win work because we deliver solutions faster and at a lower cost than the large consultancies, but we keep that work because we invest in understanding each client’s business, culture and priorities. That means being transparent when challenges arise, adapting quickly when business needs change and always looking for ways to add value beyond the original scope.
It’s also about making our consultants a part of the client’s team. When they see our people suggesting process improvements, mentoring their staff and owning outcomes, it builds confidence that we’re a strategic partner they can rely on.
