From the Statue of Liberty to the North East of England.

We are extremely excited to be working with the world-renowned chemical manufacturing brand, Thomas Swan, a true North East success story. Recently, we discovered that Thomas Swan products are even used on the Statue of Liberty, a powerful reminder of the global impact of their work.

Founded in 1926 in Consett and still proudly manufacturing in the region today, Thomas Swan is an independent chemical manufacturer with operations across the UK, USA, and China, exporting to more than 80 countries worldwide. With a portfolio of over 100 products produced from kilogramme to multi-tonne scale, their expertise and flexibility are second to none.

Over the past year, we have been collaborating on a major digital project, spanning scoping and wireframing through to experience design, functionality implementation, and build. It has been an exciting journey, and we cannot wait to share the results with you very soon.

Watch this space.

We are delighted that we’ll be sponsoring Hartlepool St Francis FC U8’s Royals and Blues for the upcoming season once again. This marks our 4th sponsorship across the club, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue supporting such a passionate and inspiring group.

Huge credit to the board and dedicated coaches who give their all, rain or shine, to help these young players grow, both on and off the pitch. The time, energy, and care they invest make a real difference and, honestly, are life-changing.

We continue to work together with the club just like we do here at StackUp Digital, focusing on teamwork, confidence, discipline, joy and feeling fulfilled. The progress these kids make each season is incredible to watch, as individuals and as a team.

Here’s to another great season of losing, learning, laughter, winning and unforgettable memories. Let’s go, St Francis! 🙌

As you may well know, StackUp Digital launched in the peak of COVID. At the time, we were fully immersed in the e-commerce boom, designing and launching high-performing Shopify websites for clients that took their now closed stores on the high street onto their very own online platform. It was a pivotal moment that helped shape who we are today.

But over the past few years, we’ve evolved. What started as a focus on e-commerce has grown into something far more technical, challenging, and rewarding and as one of the founders, I have enjoyed the journey exploring so many different avenues and industries along the way.

Today, we specialise in building complex, high-performance digital products using Laravel, Next.js, and API-first development. These aren’t short-term launches—they’re long-term, strategic builds designed to solve real business problems.

We’ve delivered solutions that contributed to a huge increase in revenue, helped businesses scale, automate, and eliminate manual, time-consuming tasks.

Whether it’s a bespoke Shopify build or a large-scale technical platform, our work is about solving problems and building long-term relationships, not just launching websites.

We really excited for the next phase of StackUp Digital, and if your business is facing technical hurdles, we’re the partner to help you break through them. We have a focused set of services that we excel at, and we stick to what we know at a very deep, technical level.

If you are interested in knowing more? Then do book in some time with us. Our calendar is open, and we’re ready to learn about you and your business and the technical challenges you might be facing.
