We take on critical systems: in trouble, understaffed, or not built yet.
Kedgeworks is a UK software consultancy. We modernise live platforms, we put senior engineers into teams that need them, and we build products from nothing. Thirty years inside other organisations’ systems: Visa, Sky Betting & Gaming, Hargreaves Lansdown, Diageo, the NFL.
End clients from engagements between 2016 and 2026. Most were delivered through agency or consultancy partners. Client names and marks are the property of their respective owners, referenced to describe work performed.
Most platforms don’t fail. They just stop being able to change.
Deploys take a day. The people who built it have left. Every estimate comes back with a warning attached. Somebody has quoted you for a rewrite, and it feels wrong.
That is one of the three reasons companies call us. The others are simpler. A roadmap slips because the team is two senior engineers short. Or a brief exists and there is no engineering team to hand it to.
Underneath, all three are the same job. Take responsibility for software that has to work, and hand it back better than we found it.
Platform rescue & re-platforming
Modernise a live, critical system without taking it offline.

Read →Every engagement is led by a principal, and that principal works in the codebase until handover. Nobody is ever billed at a level above the work they are doing.
You're a CTO with a platform problem
You need architecture detail and evidence we've done this on systems like yours. Start with the case studies.
The work →You're running a programme
You need a supplier who won't fail visibly. Regulated-sector track record, process, and how engagements run.
Our approach →You're an agency needing capacity
We work white-label behind your brand, and we never approach your clients. Most of our work arrives this way.
For agencies →Tell us what state it’s in.
A call with the principal who would run it, or a free 30-minute technical consult. We’ll tell you if you don’t need us.
