Softwire Bristol is becoming Ghyston

We are becoming Ghyston! Here's what it means for you.

In September 2017, the Bristol arm of Softwire will be leaving the Softwire brand and becoming Ghyston. Watch this space and subscribe to our social media channels to hear more as it happens.

What does this mean?

Ghyston will be providing the same great service it has always done in its 5 years as Softwire Bristol, but there will be a few changes:

  • To ensure the business success of all the software we create, we will keep users even more central to our processes. From research to design and iterative testing, we will build software more directly around the people who will use it.
  • To better meet more of our clients’ needs, we are widening our service offerings. As a natural complement to our core software development services, we now offer graphical design and marketing services, as well as a greater range of infrastructure and support services. We will be delivering these both through our new internal specialists and through a carefully selected network of local (onshore!) delivery partners.
  • Our own look and feel will be updated to more accurately reflect who we have evolved to be over our 5 year history.
