Manufacturing & production
Anglo American plc
Technology & delivery partner · UK
We design, build, and remain responsible for the systems that keep businesses running.
From customer-facing sites to internal platforms and operational systems. Integrated with existing infrastructure and maintained over time.
We design, build, and maintain the systems businesses rely on. The same team stays responsible as the system evolves.
No handover gaps. No stop/start. No going back to square one.
Most engagements start with a conversation. We look at the business, the systems already in place, and what needs to change. Then we set the work up properly.
We start by understanding the business, the systems in place, and what needs to improve. That often means untangling manual processes, spreadsheets, and gaps between existing systems before new work begins.
Where new systems or major changes are required, we agree a defined piece of work to get the core platform running. This creates a stable foundation that can be built on over time.
Once the system is in place, the work usually continues. We keep building and improving it as the business changes. There is no need to restart the project each time.
Most work is delivered on an ongoing basis. That gives the business a steady delivery rhythm and keeps the system moving. It also cuts out repeated re-scoping and project restarts.
Work continues month by month. No repeated re-scoping. No gaps in delivery. No starting again from scratch.
A consistent level of delivery each month allows systems to be built, improved, and maintained without interruption.
We stay accountable for the systems we build. That does not stop at delivery.
Ongoing development capacity is more efficient than repeated fixed projects. Priorities shift; the engagement moves with them.

Not every engagement starts with a full system build. Many begin with a defined piece of work around an existing system, an integration point, or a specific operational problem. It can move into ongoing delivery from there.
Every engagement is planned, scoped, and delivered properly. There is no “quick and unstructured” work.
Different systems. Same requirements. They need to work reliably, integrate properly, and stay maintainable.
Internal systems that manage workflows, data, and people across a business. Intranets, CRM replacements, case management tools, and operational dashboards.
Systems that connect the shop floor to management. Production scheduling, quality tracking, MES integrations, batch management, and compliance tools for regulated environments.
Platforms that move and track goods. Warehouse management, carrier integrations, route planning, inventory control, and multi-site visibility.
Revenue-generating systems such as booking platforms, websites, customer portals, and native apps. Built to work with the core systems behind them.
Systems that turn operational data into structured management information. Automated reports, dashboards, anomaly detection, and calculation-based analytical tools.
Organic search, AdWords, and digital campaigns managed against measurable commercial outcomes. Never split away from the underlying system.
Engagements are scoped, planned, and reported against defined milestones. Work is reviewed throughout. It is not simply delivered and handed over.
We do not finish the delivery and disappear. We stay responsible for the system and keep it moving as the business needs change.
Investment is agreed before work begins. Scope is defined. There are no unexpected costs or late surprises.
We sit between modern tooling, including AI, and live operations. Nothing goes in without a clear commercial reason.
Manufacturing, logistics, and operational constraints are familiar ground. We work within compliance requirements, legacy infrastructure, and the need for continuity.
Offices in Liverpool, Sheffield, and Scarborough. Real people, on the ground, accountable for the systems we deliver.
We help businesses use AI where it makes commercial sense. We also tell them when it does not. It is introduced carefully and kept under control.
Each AI use case is tested on commercial merit. That might be forecasting, anomaly detection, document processing, or scheduling. If the evidence is not there, we say so.
Every AI implementation is planned, tested, and validated before it operates in a live system. Nothing is deployed speculatively.
Where existing processes work, they stay working. AI is introduced in phases alongside real systems. It is not bolted on.
We run internal experiments with emerging tools before recommending them to clients. What we apply in practice is what we have already tested in a controlled environment.
An internal programme for testing AI tools against real operational constraints before recommending them to clients. New methods assessed in controlled environments.

Internally, the response to the new CMS has been excellent. It is clean, clear, and works well on iPads and phones. The SJT narratives are built into it too.
Stephen Joseph Theatre
Quite frankly amazing. They built a robust system that handles thousands of requests a day. They know the technical side and understand the commercial side too. That made them a useful sounding board for wider business decisions.

Askew Brook listened to our requirements but also offered their professional advice and recommendations on what would work best. The training they provided has enabled staff and volunteers to feel confident editing the website.
