dxw

dxw is a leading employee owned digital agency that works with the public and third sectors. Our employees are based across the UK. We’re remote first but come together at our Leeds HQ and London hub for work and social things. 

We work in partnership with our clients to make life better for the people who use public services and the teams that run them.

We’ve made it our job to fix some of the really difficult stuff in government. We’re proud of the work we’ve been doing this year with the Probation Service to make sure people have a home to go to when they leave prison. Over the last year, we’ve also been working with a host of new organisations like the Open University and British Film Institute.

When we became employee owned in 2021 we committed ourselves to working in the best interests of public service users and our staff. In January this year, we were excited to welcome our partners, Neontribe as part of the dxw family.

We work for the public good and great service design is at the heart of what we do. We work in the open wherever we can. You’ll find the way we work in our playbook, and our code on GitHub. Find out more at www.dxw.com.
