Brightec
VerifiedShoreham-by-Sea app agency founded in 2006. Award-winning iOS and Android specialist with 25+ team members and clients including Google, Virgin Trains (App of the Year 2023), Legal & General, and Waterstones.
About Brightec
Brightec was incorporated on 25 May 2006 and is headquartered at Riverside Business Centre, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex. Founded by Andrew Ferrett, the agency has spent nearly two decades building a reputation for 'people-first' mobile development, winning Best Employee Development Programme in 2024 and ranking in the Top 100 Inspiring Companies globally in 2023. Client work spans e-commerce (Waterstones, Ziffit), travel (Virgin Trains — App of the Year at UK eCommerce Awards 2023, TrainSplit), financial services (Legal & General, Willis Towers Watson), education (RM Education, Ricardo), and consumer (Google, KitchenCraft). Services focus specifically on mobile app strategy, iPhone app development, Android app development, and cross-platform apps — deliberately narrow to maintain depth of expertise.
Why They Stand Out
Nearly 20 years of focused mobile-only specialisation, staying narrow when competitors broadened, gives Brightec unusual depth in iOS and Android craft. Virgin Trains App of the Year 2023 is a credible recent external validation. People-first culture rankings suggest low churn and consistent senior delivery on accounts.
Ideal For
UK brands seeking a mature, craft-focused mobile specialist with long-term partnership ambitions. Particularly strong fit for retail, transport, and financial services clients wanting an agency with proven enterprise pedigree and a stable team.
Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)
Shoreham-by-Sea location is outside any major UK tech hub, which may be inconvenient for London or Manchester clients wanting frequent in-person collaboration. Deliberate narrow focus on iOS/Android means clients needing heavy web or backend development will need a separate partner. Team size of 25+ limits capacity for very large or highly parallel programmes.
