Where does Tideway’s name come from?

The Tideway, or tidal Thames, runs through London, England from the sea as far inland as Teddington in Middlesex. In just under 100 miles it offers a wealth of different scenes – from the (almost) open sea in the estuary, to the green and leafy islands (or straits as they are known), with the unique views of London itself in between.

“We are a young, fun company that continues to grow rapidly based on our great customer relationships, world-class people and constant innovation. In just over four years, Tideway has burgeoned to around 100 employees with thousands of business applications, underpinned by hundreds of thousands of physical and virtual machines, located all around the globe under the management of our software solutions.” Richard Muirhead, Founder, Chairman & CEO
