We’re software engineers and system architects, strategists, user experience and interaction designers, testers, project and account managers.
Heard enough already? Let’s talkWe were born to innovate, to not just stand on the shoulders of the giants who built our industries, but to elevate their ambitions, to take their inventions and to bring them to the digital age. We are the founders of the Digital Factories of the future - we can apply any technology to make your business the best, the most agile and among the most successful on the planet. Our ambition always has been, and always will be, to build excellence.
We started out small, as a side project, with big dreams of making businesses and processes better and importantly, having fun on the way.
We’ve grown, a lot. Our focus hasn’t changed but the scale of the challenges we undertake and who we take them on with, have.
We launched in 2009 (traditional side hustle... you know the story) and then demand got big, so in 2014 things got serious.
We move within the constantly changing world of tech, so for us standing still with a single industry application isn’t relevant.
We work with all sizes of business, from start-ups to FTSE 100 organisations.
On top of our passion, innovation and commitment to solving some of the hardest issues businesses and organisations face globally, we are also Microsoft Technology Specialists, strengthened by our certified Microsoft Gold Partnership.
Everything we do starts with people and can end with everything from integrations to mobile apps to web applications to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
A future where technology amplifies the greatness of humanity giving us more time to do what we love in an environment that is sustainable, efficient and ethical.
Razor bring you technology that works in the real world, now and for the future. We are fanatical about the opportunities technology can offer to businesses and the progress it can bring to society.
We deliver cutting edge human-driven technology, for humans by humans. We work with you to understand, challenge and rarefy the technology landscape to bring you ideas and solutions that build value.
Human and technology working in harmony to deliver the future.
We don't fit into moulds. We hire, train and encourage radical and diverse thought to deliver cutting edge, results-driven solutions.
We know our stuff. A team built on decades of technology and delivery experience, we de-risk the future.
We drive and deliver results fast that are solid through working smart and hard and continually adopting better ways of working. We are focused and not distracted from our clear goals.
Sounds like a cool place to work, right? If you’re looking for a new opportunity, we might have some going.
Jamie Hinton <> Chief Executive Officer
Most people who deal in software see it in code. Jamie sees it in living and breathing opportunities – that if applied in the right way – can not just bring real value, but supercharge any organisation.
Beginning his career writing scripts to automate his own job as a data uploader at one of Sheffield’s (then) largest technology agencies, it is this mindset of ceaseless innovation which gave life to Razor and its mission to always stay on the sharp edge of technology.
At Razor he challenges his team to think bigger. To harness the power of automation, VR, machine learning and focused design thinking to enhance business functions, experiences and intelligence beyond the client’s expectation.
Jamie has worked with major brands including Alfa Romeo, Co-Operative Bank, HCCi Dyson, Virgin Trains and South Staffs Water.
Steve Trotter <> Chief Operations Officer
Steve is COO and Co-Founder of Razor. He is a qualified and experienced senior programme manager who has ensured the successful delivery of a range of highly complex projects for clients such as the Crown Commercial Service, PizzaExpress and South Staffs Water.
Steve works closely with our partners on everything from selecting appropriate project management approaches, to long term product development planning and business operating modelling.
His acute attention to detail and ability to manage multiple information systems position him perfectly to oversee the end-to-end operations of our business. Steve also has a keen interest in forming team structures and processes to facilitate continuous improvement.
Katy Hinton <> Chief of Staff
Katy is Chief of Staff and has been part of Razor since the very beginning.
Formally an Events Manager, Katy took the decision to switch careers when the business grew and required more than just an extra hand. The digital sector was new and interesting, fast-paced and very different. But people remain the same in all industries.
Organised and methodical, Katy leads the non-core aspects of the business and is responsible for the welfare and development of the team, the physical and imperceptible environment, cost management, compliance and a host of other challenges.
Katy is the go-to who makes things happen and puts collective ideas into practice for the benefit of our business, the individuals, and the teams within.
