Proud to win the Teesside Best New Business heat, North East Business Awards 2025

We are thrilled to share that we won the Teesside Best New Business heat for the prestigious North East Business Awards 2025, a huge moment for our team and a brilliant reflection of the momentum we have built over the past year.
This recognition means a lot, it celebrates the hard work, grit, and belief our team brings every single day, fixing and improving complex digital platforms, supporting clients through tricky challenges, and delivering results that actually move the needle. It also speaks to our roots in Hartlepool, where we are building a company with ambition, heart, and a commitment to creating opportunities locally.
Why this win matters
It validates our approach, rethink, not rebuild, support and maintain what works, improve what does not, keep clients trading while we make the experience faster, clearer, and easier. It shows that a team from Hartlepool can compete at the highest level, growing fast while staying dependable and grounded.
The team behind it
Our people are the reason we are here, from early mornings to late fixes, everyone pulls in the same direction, delivery for clients first, no drama. Developers, designers, project managers, operations, and marketing, all working as one, learning quickly, sharing ideas, and backing each other. We could not be prouder.
More than development, our Academy and tech for good
We are not just a development company, we are building skills and changing lives through our digital Academy and our tech for good work.
• Through the Academy, we share practical skills in web, e commerce, and mobile, we mentor local talent, create industry ready pathways, and help people step into real roles, not just pass a course.
• Through our Changing Lives work, we donate time and build digital tools that make a difference, including mobile app projects for charities and community groups, we prioritise impact, accessibility, and low running costs so organisations can reach more people.
• Our mobile app donation program helps worthy causes get a head start with discovery, design, and a working MVP, we focus on outcomes, safety, and ease of use, so teams can deliver help where it is needed most.
This is where our ambition really shows, using digital technology to help as many people as we can, locally and worldwide, turning expertise into practical, positive change.
Rooted in Hartlepool, reaching further
Being part of the Hartlepool community matters to us, we support local initiatives, mentor young people, and create sustainable jobs, while delivering for clients across the UK and beyond. The pride we feel comes from seeing talented people grow here, then use those skills to build tools that help others.
Looking ahead
This is not a finish line, it is fuel, we will keep investing in our people, expanding the Academy, scaling our Changing Lives projects, and partnering with more charities to put technology in the hands of those who need it most. We want to keep showing that you can build a serious digital business right here, serve national and international clients, and still lead with purpose.
To the other nominees and winners, congratulations, the quality across Teesside and the wider North East is inspiring. To our clients, thank you for your trust, to our team, thank you for your relentless effort, to our community, thank you for the support.
Here is to more growth, more collaboration, and more reasons to be proud of the North East, and to using digital technology to help as many people as we possibly can.
