01 — Who we are
An engineering studio, not a body shop.
SALT & FISH LIMITED is a specialist IT company. We design, build and operate software systems for organisations that treat technology as core infrastructure — not a cost centre. Our people are career engineers, architects and security practitioners who ship production systems, own the on-call pager, and stay long enough to be accountable for the outcome.
Product mindset
We measure success in business outcomes, not tickets closed.
Operational rigor
Everything ships with observability, SLOs and runbooks.
Security first
Threat modelling and least-privilege from day one.
Long-term partners
Most clients renew year over year — that's the point.
02 — Solutions
Key IT solutions
A focused portfolio of capabilities we deliver end-to-end — from architecture through production.
Cloud infrastructure
AWS · Azure · GCP · Kubernetes · IaC.
Cybersecurity
Threat modelling, hardening, incident response.
Business automation
Workflows, integrations, back-office AI.
Consulting & architecture
System design and technology strategy.

How we work
- 01
Discover
We meet the people who use the system, map real workflows and separate accidental complexity from essential.
- 02
Design
Architecture, threat model, data model and delivery plan — reviewed jointly before code is written.
- 03
Deliver
Small, working increments in production every week. Observability, tests and docs shipped with the feature.
- 04
Operate
SLO-backed operations, on-call rotations, continuous hardening. We stay accountable in production.
06 — Why us
Why organisations choose us
- Senior by default
No offshore junior farms. The engineers you meet are the engineers who build.
- Delivery honesty
Weekly demos, transparent burn-down, no surprise invoices.
- We own the pager
Systems we build, we help operate — with real SLOs, not marketing ones.
- Portable IP
You own the code, the infrastructure, the docs. No lock-in.
07 — Security & reliability
Hardened by design. Verified in production.
Security is not a phase — it's an operating discipline. Every workload we deliver is engineered for least-privilege access, encrypted data flows, continuous scanning and rapid recovery.
Zero-trust access
Identity-aware access, short-lived credentials, no shared secrets.
Encrypted end-to-end
At rest and in transit. Keys managed, rotated, audited.
Continuous monitoring
SIEM, anomaly detection, tamper-evident audit logs.
Tested recovery
Backups, failover and disaster-recovery drills — actually run.
