Our mission
Computing used to be a very human story, of future tech leaders tinkering in garages to build systems that brought people closer together… but somewhere along the line it seems to have become more technical and less human.
We passionately believe that IT should be more accessible, more user-focused and less complicated, and that’s why we established nDuo
Our origin story (always wanted one of those!)
For us, the eureka moment came in a very human place – a small pub on the southside of Wapping, overlooking the River Thames. It was a warm summer’s evening in 2011 and two workmates/flatmates were righting the wrongs of the day with a lager and a list of ways their bosses – and every technology company they had worked for up to this point – had sucked the joy out of their client’s workplaces.
That evening changed everything when we recognised that, for the large part, the IT industry just didn’t ‘get’ it. The bigger the company, the less ‘human’ the service and solutions seemed to be, just when technology innovators were heading off in the other direction – creating a new wave of apps and tools to enhance user experience, to create work environments that were more intuitive, welcoming, streamlined and connected.
It took six months of nightly planning (into the wee small hours), bank loan rejections and belief that we were on the right track. Then finally, with a £5,000 loan from family and friends, an overdraft facility and a bag full of dreams, two 26-year-olds took the leap and quit their jobs to build something new.
In hindsight, doing this just before Christmas may have been a judgement error, but this was the start of the nDuo journey.
Ten (and a bit) years later
We may not have started out of a garage, but we did launch nDuo from our kitchen table. And, ten (and a bit) years later we are proud to head up an ever-growing team of exceptional technology specialists delivering end-to-end Apple and Windows device management, workflow streamlining and process automation solutions to the finance sector, tech scale-ups, design studios and many others.
We are proud to work with a diverse range of clients, from market leaders such as Revolut and Kroo to SMEs and rapidly scaling start-ups. What unites them all is their desire for Apple experts who possess the experience and expertise necessary to translate the complex needs of its users into cutting-edge technology. Our office in London puts us at the heart of this important mission.
