Get to know us
“I love what I do, and our team of over 50 people is now striving to build a new type of tech company; a place with purpose, where building people and products to unlock positive change is the priority.”
– Paul Brown, our CEO
6B was founded in 2014, when our CEO Paul Brown, spotted an opportunity…
“In 2014, I quit my job as a developer to leap into the unknown.
The market was suffering with un-skilled, slow and ineffective development businesses selling loads of jargon rather than genuinely helping people and delivering results – and the problems in the market remain the same today.
Bloated teams.
Poor communication.
Poor client management.
No attention to detail.
Misinformation.
Lack of technical ability.
6B started with a passion to address these problems. I had a small desk in my bedroom, a very supportive wife, and a burning ambition to form a different type of business. A home where skilled people are supported to deliver good advice and innovative work to our clients at speed. A place focussed on people, relationships and honest, transparent communication with each other and our clients. “
What we do
6B today is a technology partner dedicated to making sense of big, complex web, mobile and software development.
Having designed and built well over 100 digital products, our expertise lies in website, app and software development, that’s tailor-made to suit our clients’ unique challenges.
Our team of over 50 problem-solvers, creative-thinkers and tech enthusiasts can support clients at any stage of their digital product journey – from initial consultancy and strategy, to ongoing maintenance and development once their solution has launched.
With a wealth of experience that spans multiple sectors, we’re able to turn our hand to any industry – our clients include ITV, Public Health England and several NHS Trusts, so we’re used to big infrastructure and solving complex problems at scale.
From the large-scale streamlining of legacy processes, to rapidly growing companies who need digital technology to help them scale, everything we create is fuelled by a genuine passion for what we do and backed by our technical excellence.
Our mission
Our mission is to be the global digital partner of choice for ambitious organisations seeking to create positive, incredible change in the world.
Our vision is twofold: to build digital products that unlock positive, incredible change in the world, and to build people and teams beyond what they imagined would be possible.
To achieve our mission and deliver on our vision we know how important our people are. We’re a passionate team, so we aim to set the standard of progressive digital agencies where workplace culture is concerned.
We want to build our people up, as we strive for an environment that’s genuine, supportive and enjoyable.
The 6Be Values
We have 6 core company values that are embedded into everything we do – from our projects to our workplace culture. The theme that underpins it all is that we’re obsessed with client success. How do we achieve it? With the 6Be's...
1. Be supportive
You can only build inspired solutions with a team to match, so true client success must start with a caring and inclusive environment. We give people the freedom to express their creativity and ideas, always striving to build an enjoyable workplace where they feel comfortable and accepted. We nurture talent, encourage career development and promote team wellbeing by offering “flexi-everything” – hours, location, even unlimited holidays. We look after each other, celebrating the “ups”, while being there for the “downs”.
2. Be technically excellent
We’re adept at making big, complex development projects simplified, unified and streamlined. Everything we create will always be custom designed to meet our clients’ unique circumstances, and the high expectations of their users. To do this, we can’t sit still – we encourage our team to always keep learning and striving to deliver the very best quality, creating work that’s clever, thorough, considered and exceptional. Basically, we always ask: is there a better way?
3. Be passionate about your work
You can’t deliver great tech without passion. We’re just a bunch of techies who love what we do – and that phrase forms a key part of our culture. We share knowledge, new ideas and project feedback around the team, so everyone can develop their understanding of what works. We frequently geek-out over new releases in the industry, passing the benefits onto our clients. Our passion means we’re constantly looking to learn, improve and make sure we’re better tomorrow than we are today.
4. Be the “extra mile” company
We don’t just deliver technical excellence – we build beyond our clients’ expectations. We pay attention to detail, aiming to surpass the high standards of our solutions, clients and team. We know it’s the little touches that make customer experiences extraordinary, so whether it’s giving you a warm welcome when we meet face to face, or supporting our team in sharing their unique opinions on projects (because that’s where real game-changing ideas come from, right?) – don’t worry, you’re in safe hands.
5. Be a trusted partner
We’re a down-to-earth bunch, who take transparency and openness seriously on our team. We don’t overload people with technical jargon – we’re authentic and honest, showing empathy towards our clients, their business challenges and each other. We’re interested in forging long-lasting technical relationships with you, so you’ll never hear us refer to ourselves as just “suppliers” – we’re long-term partners. Executing our initial Breakthrough plan isn’t the goal, it’s just the beginning.
6. Be growth-focused
We’re true creative thinkers, who aim to stay a few steps ahead. We don’t lead – we change the game, we pioneer. We’re driven by the challenge and a desire to truly help the organisations we work with. In tech, that often means being bold with our concepts. We’re not afraid to make a big impact, and if you want to create real, positive change with better outcomes, you must think creatively. Luckily, that’s our speciality – every member of the 6B family is motivated to think bigger, fail fast and try again.
