We built a new learning portal backed by a bespoke, “headless” content management system for UK Sport to manage their extensive content library.
Where it all began
Richard, Paul and Keith started their business mission together in 2007.
They vowed to create a company that people would really enjoy working for
Bringing together their combined experience from Deloitte, Microsoft and London Underground. In true startup form, they quickly realised that they loved the building and iterating of new technology to create businesses that just wouldn't have been possible before.
The platform brings their mantra to life.
"Create Once, Publish Anywhere"
In 2009 KoodibooK was released and they focused on developing iPrinciples
They were a consultancy that allowed them to do what they do best - design, develop and deliver pioneering software. The innovative KoodibooK was titled the next breed of 'Rich Internet Applications'.
The business quickly picked up work with brands such as Microsoft and the BBC
They started to invest in internal software projects to accelerate client work. This prompted a rebrand to Rocketmakers in 2014. Trading as Rocketmakers, the company now employees over 50 crew members and has taken an equity stake in more than 50 client companies.
