Designing and delivering scalable software solutions which are engineered to stand the test of time, Catapult helps businesses to unlock their new chapter of progress and expansion. The company creates solutions structured to scale and delivers them in partnership with its clients’ needs and trust, facilitating exceptional results. We heard from Louise Cermak, Principal Consultant of Catapult, as the firm was recently named Best DevOps & Agile Consultancy 2025. The Power of Partnerships It is Catapult’s sheer dedication to its craft, its technology, and its partnerships which help it to shape the future of the DevOps and Agile consultancy industry. Principal Consultant Louise Cermak began by telling us: “Catapult’s mission is to help B2B organisations, especially in financial services and the public sector, to deliver complex, high-stakes change with speed, precision, and confidence.” With the core values of ‘collaboration’, ‘quality’, ‘freedom’, ‘results’, ‘respect’, and ‘fun’, Catapult prioritises working together to achieve the best outcome for its clients. The environment built by Catapult’s leaders and their teams means that everyone feels respected and equal in a diverse and inclusive atmosphere. Quality is created through passion and integrity so that the company can deliver the right solutions at the best possible price. Also believing in agility, flexibility, productivity, and the team’s shared vision, Catapult achieves more for itself and its clients on a daily basis. With their autonomous work and empowered positions in the company, Catapult’s team are able to continually innovate and learn, to perfect the results. And finally, by having fun, the team is driven and committed to working smarter and harder. When it comes to applying these core values, Catapult is home to a seamless system across a talented team. Louise shared: “What sets us apart is that we’re practitioners, not passengers. Our teams are made up of engineers, architects and delivery leads who don’t just advise on platforms, they build and run them. They don’t just understand code, they understand our clients’ businesses - deeply. “At Catapult, we don’t just deliver complex software, we deliver it with the speed, certainty, and reliability our clients didn’t think was possible. Many come to us after delays, overruns, or big promises that never quite materialised. We change that and we change their thinking on software engineering.” Catapult is exceptionally proud of its recent projects working with users to speed up digital certifications, Louise explained: “The UK Ship Register (UKSR), delivered in partnership with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), was named as a finalist at both the UK IT Industry Awards and the Computing Digital Technology Leaders Awards for Best Public Sector IT Project. “The result was a fully digital service that now issues certificates in seconds (down from 15 minutes) and cuts registration processing time from over an hour to just 8 - 17 minutes. The platform we developed is fully cloud-native, accessible to users around the world and delivering measurable outcomes which include improving data quality, streamlining operations and enabling the MCA to offer faster, more responsive maritime services.” As a shining example of the work carried out by Catapult, and the impact it has on its clients, Dan Vivian, Commercial Director of Maritime Coastguard Agency shared: “The effective digitisation of the UK Ship Register is a central element to the creation of a new operating model for the service; fit for the 21st Century. The solution that has been developed is elegant in its design, thorough in its understanding of the customer and simple in its execution – leading users seamlessly through the process. “It means that the registration services of the UK flag have the ability to be world leading, supporting the maritime sector and the wider UK economy. The project team collaborated effectively and engaged the teams across the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) at the appropriate times. Both the system and teams stood up to the scrutiny and have delivered an exemplary platform that will be built upon and used by the MCA for many years.” Always focusing on its clients’ needs, this outstanding business has won a spot in the limelight. Expertly blending deep technical expertise with lean, embedded delivery – all backed with a fixed-price model that guarantees real outcomes, not just effort – Catapult is celebrated for its commitment to its solutions, partnerships, and delivery on each of its promises. These are the main reasons for its success in our Business Elite Awards 2025, and we truly look forward to seeing where Catapult positions itself in the years to come.
