A Community Interest Company
Making sure great projects get noticed.
ABOUT
Octopus3 is a Community Interest Company which means it operates for the benefit of a 'community'. Any excess profits we make will be reinvested into our community by granting money to charities, doing work pro bono, or delivering services which would be open to all qualifying organisations.
To find out if your organisation might be a beneficiary, please CONTACT US and explain who you are, what you do and what you need.
We work alongside you as expert partners, combining strategy with hands-on delivery at every stage.
Our team helps you set clear objectives and map out the best methods, then we roll up our sleeves to make it happen together.
With skills spanning multiple fields (almost as if we really did have eight arms!), we provide the muscle that turns strategy into action and results while keeping you fully involved.
Along the journey, we share knowledge and build your team’s confidence, so you can keep momentum long after our work on your project wraps up.
And we put real heart into everything we do -an octopus has three hearts so we aim for triple the care and passion for every project.
Based in Cumbria, we’re proud of our roots, but our support reaches wherever our clients need it most.
THE BOARD
