We are a small team of web application developers with a wide range of interesting clients and projects. In the last 15 years we have worked on around 1400 projects for about 350 clients – the diversity is genuine and keeps us sharp; it also keeps us really, really busy.

We are a team of curious-minded people who support each other, hold robust debates and don’t mind helping each other move house on the weekend. We thrive on challenges, we view our successes (and failures) as opportunities for growth, and we never, ever want to stop learning. We value mindset over skill set and we believe the team is more powerful than the individual.
