An independent London-based software & design company

Young Futures Digital was founded in London by people who kept seeing the same thing from different angles: organisations wrestling with problems that off-the-shelf software never quite fits — and paying for it in workarounds, spreadsheets and lost time. The company was set up to build the thing that actually fits: diagnose the problem properly, put the fix in writing, then build it.

We are independent, which means we answer to the work rather than to a sales target. We recommend the simplest fix when the simplest fix is right, and we take on work where we can genuinely make a difference.

We are a focused team of engineers and designers. The people you brief are the people who do the work — there is no account layer, and no hand-off to a delivery team you have never met. We would rather be known for a few things that genuinely work than a portfolio of announcements.

We build for organisations of any size: family firms, logistics and distribution companies, retailers, trades and professional services — and public bodies including local authorities, schools and colleges, NHS trusts, housing associations and charities. Alongside client work we run an independent social-impact strand — safety technology and online-harms education for young people — and the discipline it demands, data protection by design and accessibility by default, is the standard every client project gets.

Six principles that decide how we work and what we build. The formal version — safeguarding, data protection, accessibility and social value — is on the standards page.
