Founding Apadmi

A lot has changed since Apadmi first opened its doors in 2009. From developing the very first mobile app on a Sony Ericsson, to building some of the most technically complex, beautiful and user-friendly solutions you’ll find in the app store today, Apadmi takes pride in its mobile expertise and history

Mobile experts since 1999

In 1999, the founders of Apadmi, Garry Partington, Nick Black, Howard Simms and Adam Fleming, created apps for the first ever smartphone, the Ericcson R380 whilst working at EMCC Software.

2009, Apadmi was founded

The iPhone (and quickly Android) changed everything. Recognising the huge disruption that was about to happen, Apadmi was launched.

The mobile explosion

Apps for BBC, X Factor and The Guardian were soon followed by richer mobile experiences for Lexus, Land Rover and Argos.

2016, Digital Transformation with NHS

DonorPath, for NHS Blood and Transplant, changed the game again. A full end-to-end digital solution that saved precious time and has won a number of awards.

2018, Labs & beyond

Apadmi Labs was established to create future solutions for ourselves and our clients. This means if the right solution doesn't exist, we can work with you to invent, as well as innovate.

10 years in mobile

We celebrated our 10th birthday and welcomed our 100th employee to the team. We kept ourselves busy redefining sailing with the launch of the world's leading fan-engagement app with SailGP.

Company-wide remote working

We reacted quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic, moving our entire team to a remote-working policy, providing them with the equipment, tech and support they needed to stay productive.
