What Shoothill does

Shoothill is a UK-based, privately held full-service digital technology provider founded in 2006 in Shrewsbury, serving more than 400 businesses globally from startups to blue-chip companies across construction, architecture, IT services, nonprofit, aviation, and sports. The company's offerings are organized into four integrated pillars — Consult (Copilot and modern workplace, digital transformation, technology expertise), Create (websites, design and print, marketing), Develop (custom web apps, mobile apps, AI systems), and Support (managed IT, cybersecurity, connectivity) — delivered primarily through direct, consultation-based sales and project-based plus managed-services contracts under custom quote-based pricing. Its technology stack is anchored in the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, SQL Server, .NET, MS365, Copilot) with DigitalOcean, PHP, React, WordPress, and Shopify as additional layers, and it maintains a Microsoft Silver Partnership plus UK Cyber Essentials certification.

Shoothill monetizes through four revenue streams: custom software development, managed IT services (recurring), creative and digital marketing, and technology consulting. The group also owns proprietary IP including AI Signal (a live benchmark platform that tests 11 frontier AI models hourly across accuracy, reasoning, instruction-following, consistency, and hallucination rates), Salop1 (an integrated digital platform for Shrewsbury Town FC), GaugeMap and FloodAlerts (river level and flood monitoring), and Housebuilder Pro (a build management application for housebuilders). Group structure comprises Shoothill Ltd (England & Wales, company number 5885234), wholly-owned subsidiary Dynacom IT Support Limited (acquired 2025-03-31), and Shoothill Software, Inc (Florida-registered US entity).

Operationally, Shoothill employs 11–50 staff across four UK offices (Shrewsbury HQ, Chester regional hub, Telford, and London/Essex via Dynacom) and is led by Group Managing Director Simon Jeavons. The firm is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional investment or external shareholders, and recent strategic moves — Dynacom acquisition, multi-site office expansion, and two 2026 product launches — indicate an active scaling phase rather than a stable-state posture.
