What we do..

We are a network of freelance software developers based in the North East.

We bridge the gap between freelancers and the businesses that need them.

We are flexible and manage new projects, adapt existing codebases and provide contracting services to address temporary skills and capacity shortages.

We seek to build long-term partnerships with our clients and have designed our processes to put quality control first.

To discuss requirements, or seek a consultation, please get in touch.

Our Structure

We are a non-profit service co-operative, meaning that our members own equal shares in the venture and Code-Operative's commission is only ever enough to cover operational costs. This means our members can enjoy the benefits of collaboration whilst retaining the benefits of being self employed. Our commission is charged as a 5% fee for both the client and freelancer
