Digital transformation is complex, and many projects struggle when boardroom strategy loses touch with technical reality. We bridge that gap. By replacing abstract "slideware" with architecture-led stewardship, we focus on what truly matters: functional software.
Our evidence-based approach consistently delivers complex transformations 30% to 50% faster than traditional consultancy models, turning ambitious visions into operational reality.
The majority of our fees are due when code hits production.
We'll design an API in the morning, and take the C-Suite to lunch in the afternoon
We build systems so good that change happens naturally
“Recursives role was to manage the entire deliverable solution spanning three different significant business systems. This was a complex project requiring a deep and wide set of skill sets to execute successfully..”
"Recursives ability to understand requirements and translate them into actionable solutions is second to none, making them an invaluable asset to any team.”
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Recursive on a particularly complex piece of work, and their contribution was genuinely exceptional.”
"Recursive's ability to merge big-picture strategic thinking with granular technical acumen enables them to anticipate obstacles early and implement sustainable, root-cause solutions.”
"Recursive possess the technical acumen to dive deep into project specifics as and when needed. This dual capability has proven invaluable in identifying potential issues early and driving solutions that address root causes rather than symptoms."
Traditional delivery separates the ‘Thinkers’ from the ‘Leaders,’ creating a costly disconnect. We provide Technical Stewardship: a single point of accountability that ensures the C-suite vision survives all the way to the technical spec. We replace friction with flow.
A system only holds together when it is shaped by a coherent mental model. We simplify the complex, ruthlessly killing ambiguity until the entire solution is clear enough to draw on a single whiteboard. Clarity isn't just a goal—it is our primary delivery tool.
We replace "Governance Theatre" with a Microscope approach. By isolating specific domains and deploying small, elite teams, we ship production-ready releases sometimes as quickly as 8 - 12 weeks. We believe that momentum is the best form of risk management.
We are Recursive by nature. Whether the portfolio is £2m or £30m, the path to enlightenment is the same: focus on a domain, design with precision, deliver with quality, and empower the team. Then, we move to the next brick, building a resilient whole.
Cross functional, experienced and full of can-do attitude.
Nick founded Recursive as a direct challenge to the traditional consultancy model, trading layers of management and "Chinese-whisper" handovers for radical transparency and technical honesty. With over 14 years of experience across travel, Social Housing, manufacturing, and film-rights licensing, Nick occupies the vital space where high-level business strategy meets granular architecture. He is known for his ability to translate a company’s financial objectives into immediate, actionable technical blueprints, moving seamlessly from the boardroom to the whiteboard to sketch the database schemas and process flows that make a vision real.
As an Implementation Architect, Nick’s philosophy is built on "unbroken ownership." He refuses the industry standard of disconnected handovers, instead maintaining a singular vision from the initial workshop through to go-live. Whether he is architecting bespoke ERP systems or integrating high-performance CRM platforms, Nick stays close to the code to ensure estimates remain realistic and designs stay resilient. Clients seek him out when they are tired of "demo-ware" and budget blowouts, looking instead for a partner who can spot a fatal design flaw before it’s baked in to deliver software that meets client objectives.
Prior to joining Recursive, Grant was a full stack developer and technical architect who bridged the gap between high-level business strategy and granular code execution. He's previously delivered solutions and products for global brands, including BMW. As CTO of Recursive, Grant oversees the technical vision of the consultancy, ensuring that every system is built with "conceptual integrity", a philosophy where design, architecture, and user experience exist in perfect alignment.
Grant leads on the low level software architecture, ensuring code and quality standards are met by SI's

In the 1950s, physicist Richard Feynman coined the term “Cargo Cult Science.” He was describing a phenomenon where people followed all the outward forms of a scientific investigation—the rituals, the jargon, the ceremonies—but missed the underlying “physics” that makes the whole thing work. In the world of Digital Transformation, we see this often. We see organizations […]
In 1948, Claude Shannon, the father of Information Theory, introduced a concept that changed the world: Entropy. In simple terms, entropy is the measure of uncertainty or “noise” in a message. The more noise there is, the harder it is for the receiver to understand the signal. In the world of large-scale Digital Transformation, […]
