About us

A small team.
Serious experience.

We're Uptick Studio: Mike and Paddy, an experienced product manager and a senior engineer who got tired of what SMEs and growing teams get stuck choosing between.

Off-the-shelf tools that don't fit the business.
Traditional agencies and consultancies priced for enterprises, not real companies.

So we built the alternative:

Enterprise-grade product work.
IP that's actually yours.
Without the telephone-number invoice.

Good work. Honest terms.

At a glance

Uptick Studio at a glance

We are UK based and work with clients across the UK and EU.

Two founders: Mike in Leeds on product, Paddy in the Manchester area on engineering, backed by a trusted network we bring in when a project needs more hands.

Two products: Build & Ship, fixed-price bespoke web and mobile apps for SMEs, and PipeLn AI, signal-based sales intelligence for independent consultants.

Every build starts from our own kits: Uptick Grid for web, Uptick Glass for mobile and Uptick Root for content, with Uptick Spark for AI work.

Fixed-price scopes agreed before any work starts. The IP is yours.

How we work

You talk to the people doing the work

Senior-led, always

Every project is led by an experienced product thinker and built by a seasoned engineer. We're a small, senior team by design, backed by a trusted network we bring in when a project genuinely needs more hands than we run day-to-day. The team scales to the work, rather than the work being squeezed to fit two people.

Honest from the start

We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit, and if not, we'll point you somewhere that can help.

Fixed scopes, no surprises

You should know exactly what you're getting before you commit to anything.

Built to last

We don't disappear after launch. Ongoing support available.
