About us
How do you fit 20+ fantastic years into a few paragraphs? Thank goodness there is a whole website to fill in the gaps!
Our story began in 2001 when, founded on a genuine ambition to share their deep expertise and extensive experience in applied innovation, Phil and Simon started Impact Innovation.
Over the years, Impact has grown into a small giant in the world of customer experience. We have been living the dream of bringing creativity and innovation to the service of many national and international big named brands. Have a look at our journey below to get a flavour of the great clients we have enjoyed working with, both here in the UK and abroad, and the extraordinary results we have achieved for them.
When you work with us you will find we are not ‘step in step out’ kind of people. We immerse ourselves in your world to ensure the solutions we develop together come from our shared expertise and understanding...and from our hearts, so we know they are right for you.
You will always get more than you bargained for when you work with the Impact team – in a good way! We lead, support, coach and develop. This has led to the numerous trusted relationships we have built with our client friends - leaving in place lifelong legacies of confidence and capability in the individuals and organisations we have touched.
