A bit about us

In 2025 OWA reached a fantastic and humbling milestone, celebrating 30 years as a software development company offering services to clients across the UK, Ireland and Europe. We remain independently owned and founding director Mark Hall is still as involved as he was in 1995 when the company took on its first projects.

We work closely and collaboratively with all of our customers – an approach that we believe leads to the best outcomes. 

Our team is available to clients throughout the course of each project – a way of working that everyone appreciates as we design and develop solutions that fit your needs.

Our partners

Having developed secure, performant web applications and digital products since 1995, we are delighted to be recognised as a UKAS-accredited ISO 27001-certified web development company as well as being Cyber Essentials certified. OWA is also an accredited channel partner at Nominet, the .UK domain registry.

We are also an accredited Crown Commercial Service Supplier in the Gov.UK Digital Marketplace and a member of the British Interactive Media Association (BIMA), a not-for-profit organisation and active community representing the digital industry.

OWA is a living wage employer and an ethical and socially responsible company.
