The Shipyard: agentic engineering that actually ships

We run the Shipyard — an AI-native software factory where agents research, build, review and QA behind enforced quality gates — and we consult for agencies and teams who want that capability themselves. We still design and build beautiful websites and apps too, delivered exactly as promised, at a speed and price hand-built delivery can't touch.

The Shipyard · our AI-native software factory

We industrialised AI software delivery. Then we built our empire on it.

Every product in our portfolio comes off the same line: a stage-gated pipeline where specialised AI agents research, specify, architect, test-design, build, review and QA — with enforced quality gates, auditable artifacts and humans only at the decisions that matter. It's why we ship world-class products at a speed and price conventional agencies can't touch. And for the first time, we'll build one inside your agency. Inside the Shipyard →

Why teams choose us

Software, the way it should be delivered

Delivered as promised

Clear scope, realistic timelines and fixed pricing. We ship exactly what we agreed — no scope games, no surprise invoices, no half-finished launch.

Senior craft, end to end

Experienced designers and engineers on every project — native Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, modern web stacks for everything else, built and tested properly.

Honest & private by default

Transparent pricing, privacy-first engineering and no dark patterns — built right for your users and straight with you.

Full-service

Everything your app needs, in one team

From first sketch to a launched product — websites, web apps and native iOS apps: strategy, design, engineering and support, all handled properly under one roof.

Design & build

Product strategy, UX design, web and native iOS engineering — the craft that makes a product feel effortless, on a timeline you can plan around.

AI, done responsibly

AI features that respect your users — clear consent, on-device where possible, genuinely useful rather than a gimmick bolted on.

Our ventures

We don't just build for clients — we build businesses

The group runs commercial ventures of its own across five arms: the Shipyard — our AI-native software factory — AI consumer products, games, website hosting, and an independent studio for underserved communities. Work completed and underway, all held to the standard we sell.

CuffLog app icon

CuffLog

Blood-pressure logging

Built for families looking after ageing parents: photograph the reading on any BP monitor — even decades-old, unconnected ones — and a model deciphers and records it. A dumb cuff gains connected-monitor power: real trends, honest charts, a GP-ready report.

The experience behind the work

Two decades of shipping, on every brief

Agentically brings 25 years at the sharp end of production software to every project: financial systems, connected systems, data warehousing at scale, architecture, CI and quality engineering — and the AI factory built on top of them. We ship apps used by thousands, run our own commercial ventures, a games arm and website hosting, and own Forgeyard Digital, an independent studio building for underserved communities — including HRTMe, trusted by thousands of perimenopausal and menopausal women. Every brief gets held to the same standard.
