Why work with us?

Mark has a wealth of experience working across Europe to deliver critical business projects for his clients. Whether it was helping the Instant Group platform scale to 150+ countries, or producing a sales platform for Everest Windows, Mark has always been driven by the true business impact of the systems he’s put in place.

In 2010 Mark founded Codiance. The objective was simple: to work with clients that saw their systems as a central part of their digital transformation (DT). Whereas competitors were focusing on ‘efficiencies’ alone, Codiance also focused on ‘user optimisation’ - ensuring that systems are truly optimised for the people using them. This focus has seen Codiance grow to deliver successful projects and established long-term partnerships with clients ranging from Prop Tech and Digital Health through to Higher Education.

With a far-ranging and varied career working with brands including 3M and Lloyds Register, Adam has the ability to make technology accessible to businesses of every kind. Thriving on the opportunity to truly understand the way a business or industry operates and functions, he has helped our clients traverse their business challenges through a unique point of view. 

Drawing on his experience as CTO, Adam is able to balance the technical know-how with a keen sense of business. “I like nothing more than developing a technology solution that either expedites workflows for consumers, customers or service providers. It’s always an exciting challenge and it’s genuinely refreshing to help businesses realise what technology can do for them”.

Before his move to Codiance, Martyn was part of a consultancy that helped new tech-led businesses build commercial and sales strategies for new products and services. At Codiance he’s doing what he loves most: working with innovative teams that build compelling solutions that people can trust.
