LITECOM Above: One of the preserved breakout rooms in The Cube; Eurovision 2017 in Kyiv was another massive undertaking by the Litecom team. think this has international potential, particularly given the local amenities, so it is just a case of making sure we do everything properly and on our own terms.” SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL It’s this steadfast refusal to settle for anything below the company’s own high standards that is at the core of Litecom’s day-to-day outlook as well. Bremer Sørensen continued: “We are a small company and very happy about it. We don’t need to conquer the world.” Despite this stance, the company has experienced enviable growth in recent years; growth that Bremer Sørensen and the rest of Litecom’s management have approached with caution. “That last 4 years have not been healthy for us,” he said. “We’ve had lots of opportunities but we grew so rapidly that we became in danger of becoming a corporate shell with nothing inside it. Prospects arise and you run to them because you just expect that they aren’t going to come around too often.

If we can get a client in there then we can care about them from start to finish; whether that is solving any technical issues or coming down to barbecue with them!” As well as attempting to recapture the more personal side of its day-to-day business, Litecom has also had to develop the corporate maturity and self-assurance to say ‘no’; particularly when saying ‘yes’ has the potential to jeopardise the company’s cherished core beliefs. Bremer Sørensen explained: “We had a German client come in during our busiest time - a client we really care about - but we didn’t have the ability to succeed with them. We tried to lay out our options, but we discovered we are fooling ourselves and we decided it was better to say no.
