Hello
We partner with organisations from an array of sectors, including healthcare, education, legal, and publishing.
Our customers ask us to custom build all kinds of things, from realistic crisis simulation tools to applications that help the NHS to streamline outpatient clinics. Or from slick tools that put vital legal information at users’ fingertips to future-proofed analytics, switched from server to cloud. All these – and more – are used by hundreds of thousands of people every day.
Because our software development is bespoke, everything we do is built on a thoughtful approach to technology strategy. With a full-service in-house team, you’ll get top quality consultancy, development and QA, exceptional attention to detail, smart agile processes, certified security and copper-bottomed reliability. We’ve built our reputation on it.

Who we've worked with
We're not just developers. We're your partners in innovation.
Custom software development
It’s fair to say we’ve picked up a fair whack of expertise since we started out in 2004.
Our team brings all that know-how to your organisation – helping you to steer a steady course and avoid nasty surprises you might not even have thought of.
Every project starts with discovery. Our specialist software consultants will get to grips with what you really need to achieve your goals.
Because we’re a bespoke software company, we design each system for our client’s specific needs, using whatever tools and technologies are right for the job. That said, most of our projects share similarities, and we’ve got plenty of experience in the ways of addressing these common needs.
The custom systems we build demand industry-leading security, compliance, availability, capacity, and performance. But at the same time, they need to keep costs in proportion.
That’s where our experience becomes very valuable.
Our process
Every project is different, with different weightings in each of these sections, but you can expect them to play out something like this:
-
Discovery
Understanding your unique needs, exploring outcomes and impacts, and defining the right systems for you.
-
Build
Agile and focused, with a commitment to excellence at every step
-
Support
DevOps and management for continuous improvement.
A UK-based software company for you
As part of the design process, we’ll sit with you to assess the trade-offs around:
- High availability
- Security
- Compliance
- Disaster recovery
- Operating cost
- Flexibility
- Robustness
We’ll work with you to identify the bespoke software development that best suits your business right now, with an eye to variables such as current and future organisational structure, capital requirements, timelines, and sales and marketing plans.

Our services
From our software architecture consulting services though digital technology strategy to expert devops and cloud management services, we're with you every step of the way.
Your software development partner
There’s a big buzz around digital transformation and agile working – and we won’t take the shine off that.
But that seductive buzz sometimes drowns out the wider context of what organisations are there to do. Our software engineering consultants will help you to step back, understand what and who your project is likely to affect, what business changes you’ll need to enable, and how it can reap the rewards you’re looking for.
Tackling the tough custom software development jobs
Our client relationships go beyond the transactional – we’re here to get as invested in your project as you are.
Our development teams are small and mixed function, with a combination of developers, user experience, and QA in each. We’ll pick the individuals who best fit your bespoke software project.
Discover more about the technologies and tools we’ve got at our fingertips – and meet the team who can deliver them.

Better people. Better systems.
