For UK companies
Your working day, not your inbox at 6am.
A senior team in South Africa, presence in London, and a genuinely shared working day. Not an offshore arrangement with a handover note.
· The overlap
One to two hours ahead. Never overnight.
South Africa runs one to two hours ahead of London. Two hours in UK winter, one during British Summer Time — South Africa doesn't observe daylight saving, so the gap is predictable year-round.
Standups happen live. Questions get answered the day they're asked, not the morning after.
The same engineers stay on your codebase. Distance isn't the risk in distributed delivery. Turnover is.
- London · GMT/BST
- South Africa · SAST · UTC+2
What we're for
A good fit when
- Software is core to how your business makes money
- You don't have a reliable in-house engineering team yet
- A named founder or technical leader is accountable on your side
- Something just changed — a vendor failed, funding landed, or you outgrew what you had
Probably not a fit when
- You need people physically in a UK office
- You're pre-revenue without confirmed funding
- You need regulated financial services domain expertise
A London presence, not a permanent office. Most work runs remote; we travel for kickoffs and major reviews where it earns its cost.
