After an early career in the building industry with a background in Earth sciences, engineering & design, Tom Young officially joined the tech world in 2017, founding uDrew after nearly a decade of personal R&D. Inspired by his experiences and frustration of dealing with the current processes of the building industry, and as a homeowner, Tom taught himself coding which he used to create the original uDrew beta system. He achieved a number of world firsts along the way, before remortgaging his house to found the business & continue to push the limits of innovation. Since 2017, the uDrew team has expanded to 12 members and has gone on to be locally and internationally recognised.
