We kept seeing the same gap. So we built the answer.
Strategy, systems, operations and people treated separately, while leadership had to make one joined-up decision. Connecting that work became the company.
Where we came from
Founded on a gap.
Yopla wasn't started to be a consultancy. It was started because the distance between what organisations own and what they actually use kept costing the people we worked with, and nobody was measuring it. Building the answer turned out to be the best work we'd ever done.

Instruments, a workspace, a delivery rhythm
The first company
We built a managed technology and cyber security firm into one of the most respected in Scotland, then sold it to EE’s largest partner in 2021. A decade inside other organisations’ systems taught us one thing above all: the technology was rarely the problem.
The gap
Everywhere we worked, the same distance between what leadership believed and what was actually happening. Capable people, decent tools, real ambition, and decisions made on opinion because nobody had measured the truth.
The build
Spreadsheets and slide decks could not hold an organisation honestly, so we built the platform ourselves. Instruments that measure, a workspace that remembers, and a delivery rhythm that holds.
A direct conversation
We're just people. Say hello.
We built a company where the systems work, the people care, and the technology gets out of the way. Tell us what you're working on.
