Rocketmakers

Our award-winning development and design team helps organisations large and small with innovations that give them an advantage over the competition, and also help make the world a better place at the same time. 

We’ve worked with top business names such as the BBC, Microsoft and Unite Students, helped launch successful local startups such as Neighbourly, Travel Local and Pure Planet, and with the English Institute of Sport we designed and developed the medical records system for the UK’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes which helps our athletes, coaches and medical staff prevent injuries and plan recoveries better.

Following success in Rio, UK Sport asked us to develop a new performance management system which is now in use by major national sports governing bodies.

Unlimited ambition

We have a goal to directly improve the lives of 50+ million people worldwide by 2030.

Rocketmakers develops innovative, well-engineered, and beautifully designed software which makes a positive impact on the world. Our services range from user centred design to software development to business consultancy which guides our clients all the way from vision to launch and beyond. 

Our team offers a level of expertise that rivals the best software companies in the world. The quality and impact of our work has even been recognised by Her Majesty The Queen, who awarded us with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.

Whether working with fledgling startups, large enterprises or high-growth companies, for the last decade Rocketmakers has helped take the kernel of an idea, validated, designed and developed the opportunity, and then helped it launch into life. Whether we’re helping Team INEOS or British Cycling or building software that powers the UK’s largest intelligently-managed energy homes trial with Sero, we bring a technology capacity and capability so that our clients can focus on bringing their vision to life.

Unlimited innovation

Innovation is our “middle name”. Rocketmakers is the developer of choice for companies who want to disrupt their industry with new, innovative software.

One local example is Pure Planet, a Bath-based provider of green electricity and carbon-offset fuel founded by former Virgin Mobile executives who wanted to disrupt the energy market by interacting with customers primarily via a smartphone app. This would allow Pure Planet to lower costs and reduce prices, as well as provide a stress-free user experience – if the app was up to the task!

Pure Planet approached Rocketmakers, who developed a single set of code to work on the web as well as Android and iOS phones. Four years later, we’re still working together on a daily basis, improving their customer-facing technology and helping to reduce those carbon emissions one customer at a time.

Unlimited potential

At Rocketmakers we love nothing better than helping people reach their full potential, whether that’s working with an entrepreneur from his first spark of an idea to a multi-million pound investment, or supporting our most junior developers as they grow into world-class software engineers. 

We especially love working with established companies as they break into new business areas, effectively becoming startups themselves. Whatever the challenge, from fintech, healthtech, to edtech, we love to hear new ideas and meet the people who are inspired by them.

Unlimited talent

The people in Rocketmakers make us what we are. We come from a huge array of backgrounds but all share in our core values, such as lifelong learning. We expect technology to change rapidly and one of our talents is understanding the art of the possible and helping our customers to use that to drive their success. 

We employ a mixture of front and back-end developers, software architects, project managers, user experience designers, visual designers, marketers, and business developers. We nurture our talent, providing them unrivalled opportunities to work on pioneering software projects with a huge range of customers and partners. 

Using the latest technology on innovative projects that make a positive difference across the world results in our staff turnover rate being one of the industry’s lowest.
