Awards & recognition

What sits behind the wins

Every one of those wins started with a client who had a problem worth solving and a team who cared about getting it right. Our case studies tell those stories properly, from the first conversation to what changed afterwards.

Checked by people who don’t work here

Awards are judged by people outside our business, which is exactly why we value them. We can tell you we do good work, but it means more when an independent panel has weighed it up against everyone else who entered.

And the mix matters. Our wins span development, sustainability, leadership, marketing and being a great place to work, because we don’t think you should have to choose between a partner who’s technically brilliant and one who cares how the work gets done.

Every win belongs to all of us

We’re 80% employee-owned, so when Hiyield wins, everyone who owns a slice of it wins too. Every award belongs to the whole team: developers, designers, project managers and everyone in between, spread right across the UK from Cornwall to Newcastle.

They’re also a lovely reminder of how far people have come. One of our senior developers started with us as an apprentice, and seeing work like that recognised on a national stage is the bit that makes us proudest. (Plus, any excuse for a team celebration.)

Quality you’ll continue to see

For us, quality shows up after launch, not on launch day. Does the thing keep working? Can your team update it confidently? Did the estimates hold? Those are the questions we ask ourselves in every retrospective.

The numbers suggest it’s working. Over 93% of our revenue comes from clients who’ve worked with us before, 90% of our retainers renew, and clients score us 9 out of 10 when asked if they’d recommend us. We’d rather be judged on the second year of a working relationship than the first month of one.
