Your technology partner
and stakeholder
We bring expertise from leading tech companies to provide end-to-end technology support, from strategy through to implementation. Some clients partner with us on specific projects, while others rely on us for broader initiatives that drive strategic impact.
Who we are
We’re a diverse group of experts, united by a shared passion for great engineering. For us, innovation isn’t just about delivering software or improving performance—it’s about people.
Too many companies mistake engineering for manufacturing, reducing it to the simple assembly of a product designed elsewhere. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The world’s leading tech companies have shown that empowering engineers to think like entrepreneurs unlocks innovation, productivity, and growth.
Our mission is to bring that mindset to everyone else. By fostering a culture of entrepreneurialism at all levels, we help unlock unimagined possibilities in both people and businesses, driving greater innovation and delivering better outcomes.

Client loyalty
With a 75% retention rate and 71% of our clients choosing to work with us for over two years, we are a trusted partner for many long-standing clients.
We’re not just another agency or contractor; we sit in a unique space between the two.
We don’t work in silos, where we simply do the work and you don’t see anything until the end of the project. Instead, we integrate directly into your existing set up, becoming a part of your team, business, and culture. As your needs change, we evolve with them. Many of our clients stay with us for years, valuing the strong partnerships we build together.
Here’s what our clients are saying
-
The team at HI enabled Lightfoot to rapidly scale development with minimal support from internal dev resources. They led well-controlled stakeholder engagement to capture product requirements, applying extensive technical experience to shape the solutions, whilst maintaining consideration of other business criteria such as budget. Agile projects were then run by the HI project and development teams, with stakeholder reviews along the way. A secondary benefit was working with them to improve internal development and DevOps workflows.
-
HI’s engagement model is tangibly different. We were impressed by how proactive their team was at all levels with high velocity, easy reviews and an ability to avoid issues before they happened. The ethos, expertise and commitment of the HI team meant this really felt like a relationship, not just a supplier arrangement.
