About

A London studio that solves problems and ships software.

We work with businesses across property, energy, legal, government and tech — from London, wherever you are. The work spans software, AI and automation. Some clients have been with us for years.

Our practice

Sector-fluent. Platform-agnostic. Hands-on.

30+ years of hands-on software development across more sectors and platforms than most boutique studios — paired with a senior team that was shipping AI features into client systems long before they became the only thing anyone wanted to talk about.

What we ship

Software, integration, AI.

Web platforms, native and cross-platform mobile apps, Windows and macOS desktop, server-side stacks (.NET, Node, SQL, message queues), TV channels and connected devices, voice surfaces — and the middleware and automation that ties them all together. Middleware is our speciality: the unglamorous glue between systems that has to keep working when everything else around it changes.

AI built into product — drafting, retrieval, classification, autonomous agents — not bolted on as a chatbot. Plus the discipline that makes the rest stick: architecture reviews, fractional CTO and tech-lead cover, and the operating-model thinking that means the new software gets used on day one.

Where we've shipped

Across the work that matters.

Property — agent tooling, portals, lettings automation, document handling. Government — internal platforms and data tooling for UK government bodies. Energy — secure bid platforms for UK nuclear site sales, operating tooling for London oil & gas. Utilities — field-ops systems for international operators in Oman.

Legal, music (full-stack delivery across web, mobile, TV channels and connected devices), tech — the cross-sector pattern recognition that comes from years of shipping into very different rooms is its own unfair advantage.

Liquid marble — colours mixing into a new form
  1. 01

    Small teams, close to the work

    One or two senior people who understand the whole picture, not a pyramid of juniors reading back what you told them.

  2. 02

    Start with what exists

    Replacing a system is the most expensive move on the board. We try the alternatives first — integration, automation, a redesign that does not need new licences.

  3. 03

    Small, shippable increments

    Value every few weeks, reviewed against a measurable outcome. Big-bang programmes age badly; we work in steps you can see and stop.

  4. 04

    Leave the lights on

    Every deliverable comes with monitoring, documentation, and a real handover. If we left tomorrow, your team could keep it running.

  5. 05

    AI where it earns its keep

    We have shipped plenty, and we are just as happy to say "no AI needed here" if the numbers do not support it.

  6. 06

    No vendor lock-in dressed as strategy

    Tooling we recommend is tooling we would pick if we were paying. Where you are already committed to a stack, we work within it.

How we work

London-based. Working wherever you are.

Remote-first as a default. Comfortable across time zones, async-friendly, and on-site when the project genuinely needs it. We have shipped work for clients across the UK and internationally — including utilities operators in Oman and oil & gas operators in London.
