Our Story

Real People, Real Solutions

We're not a faceless agency. We're developers who've spent 20+ years building enterprise solutions for major brands, now bringing that expertise to businesses and organizations that deserve better.

How it started

From Enterprise to Community

After two decades building solutions for global telecoms, financial institutions, and FTSE 100 companies, we realized something: small businesses and charities deserve the same quality of work, just at prices they can actually afford.

Too many web agencies overcharge and underdeliver. They hide behind jargon, pad invoices, and treat clients as transactions. We wanted to do things differently.

Community Tech was born from a simple idea: bring enterprise expertise to the community. No complicated contracts, no confusing tech speak, no surprise bills. Just honest, quality work from people who genuinely care about your success.

Partners, not vendors
Why I started Community Tech

Charity has always been a part of my life, and after a successful career as a professional web developer I am passionate about giving back to the sector and helping to make a difference through sharing my skills.

I lived at my grandparents house for the first few years of my life and my aunty was severely autistic. I think I "volunteered" at my first charity when I was 4 or so, and my grandmother went on to receive an MBE for her services to charity. My mum became the CEO of a large local charity supporting people with learning disabilities and so it has been a constant thread in my life.

I currently volunteer for a handful of different organisations including a charity that supports children with SEND in the early years, a homeless/vulnerable adults supported living charity, and a national charity supporting older people. To be able to use my professional skills to contribute to the success of a range of charities is something that is really important to me at this point in my life, and I have a large network of some of the best professionals in the technology sector that can help to make this a reality.
