2022 roundup and what we’re looking forward to in 2023!

As 2022 draws to a close, we caught up with DueTrade founder, Henry Dewing to discuss the past year and also find out what he’s looking forward to in 2023.

•  What’s been your proudest moment in 2022?

My proudest moment of 2022 is growing our customer base and getting more products into the market. Plus, winning another award for our work and vision!

• What milestones have you achieved as a business?

We’ve achieved several milestones this year including winning the Rising Star award for our work and vision, securing new customers, settling into a lovely new office space, raising investment to help grow the business, expanding our team and we’ve also been approved for a government grant to build a new product – which is coming next year!

• How did it feel when you won the Rising Star Award at the National Startup Awards?

It was incredibly unexpected. I was genuinely shocked. The competition was great! It's nice to know a panel of judges and experts in the start-up field also see the vision for DueTrade and understand how our business can help many other industries modernise their approach.

• What challenges have you faced this year? And how have you overcome them?

The main challenge we have faced is businesses being reluctant to spend with a cost crisis looming and with the fact we are heading into a recession. The wheels are in motion at the moment to overcome them with a new product we are bringing out in the new year which will dramatically drop our prices and make offering a B2B app available for all relevant businesses. We are very excited about this but that's as much as I'll go into it at this point because it won't be live until April/May.

• What are you looking forward to in 2023?

As I mentioned above, the new product we are developing! The dev team and I are incredibly excited about this after listening to customers and prospective customers' feedback. We also look forward to launching new customer products and hopefully growing the team. Ultimately, if we started in a pandemic and survive through a recession then that's something to be very pleased about.
