Lines Group

What Lines Group does

Lines Group is a Gloucester, UK-based design and digital agency founded in 1977 that operates a hybrid services-plus-proprietary-software model. Its professional services practice spans brand strategy, identity design, website design and build, and property marketing, while its Technology Solutions division (established 1998) develops and sells a portfolio of in-house products: Edition, a multi-site CMS for dealer and franchise networks that now includes configurable AI content-rewriting modes; Advantage+, a sales presentation app for franchise and dealer networks with documented deployments such as Aire Serv under Neighborly; Loop, a business performance management and predictive analytics platform; and ShowReal360, a 3D property visualization product launched in 2025 with tiered subscription pricing of £5,650–£14,700.

The company's client base spans UK and US franchise and dealer networks, UK housebuilders and property developers (Places for People, Newland Homes, Cotswold Oak Homes), agricultural machinery brands (Holt JCB, Bomford Turner, McConnel), consumer brands (Westons Cider), and public and third-sector organizations (Growth Hub, Hope for Tomorrow, Lower Severn IDB, GWSR heritage railway). It pursues an AI-startup cohort (e.g., Tulpa AI) and is a Webflow Certified Partner.

Revenue is generated through a combination of project-based creative and digital services and recurring software subscriptions (Edition, Advantage+, ShowReal360), with the Aire Serv/Neighborly Advantage+ relationship representing the most prominent enterprise anchor. Go-to-market is direct, supported by demo-request calls-to-action and ecosystem integrations with ServiceTitan, Cadsoft, and Renoworks. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed.
