Loft – Testimonial carousel (sector: all)
  • Loft Digital has worked on our Cyclescheme products since 2007. They are delightful to work with and the quality of service provided by Loft has been a key factor in Cyclescheme’s success. Their agile, iterative approach and the close cooperation between their team and ours has allowed excellent strategic support and fast delivery of new features to minimise risk and maximise ROI. I would absolutely recommend their services.

    Harmeet Chhabra

    Senior Director, Engineering, Blackhawk Network

  • We worked with Loft not only because they understand our systems and our business, but because of their track record of innovation … Everything was achieved on time and on budget, with very easy collaboration between Loft and our internal teams. You couldn’t ask for more.

  • Following the launch of our new brand last year it was vital that we redeveloped our site to ensure that it meets all our brand values – uncorporate, positive and direct. Loft has done just that and at the same time helped us to bring our work alive so we can get more people involved in our mission to end homelessness.

    Phil Power
