Who are Good Growth?
Good Growth’s primary mission is to enable large businesses and organisations to innovate online, without letting their legacy tech stacks slow them down. Many of the websites you see – some of which might belong to your favourite retailers – are often over a decade old, relying on older systems and legacy technology to continue running.
Whereas a lot of companies will see this as a barrier, Good Growth sees Legacy Tech as an asset. We enable businesses to innovate at breakneck speeds, with lower risk and time costs. We drive change and create value in areas that previously seemed unworkable. You can find out more about us and the clients we have worked with at https://goodgrowth.co.uk/
