A small UK software studio and IT consultancy. Founded in London in April 2026 as a place to ship two kinds of work without compromising either.
You cannot pay for one with the other alone, not for a long time. Client work pays the bills. Product work pays the soul. We built Antler Labs as a place to do both, deliberately, and to let each side make the other stronger.
The cyber security work informs how we build the products. The products give the security work credibility no slide deck can match. A small studio shipping its own software is a different conversation with a CTO than a pure consultancy is.
From night shifts on the SOC floor to global head of cyber. Now founder.
Twenty-five years in information security and cyber transformation. A career spent across professional services, security operations, and consultancy work for organisations that take risk seriously.
Engagements have included FTSE 250 companies, UK public sector functions, global energy and finance organisations, private equity portfolio managers. Specialism in information security strategy, identity and data management, intrusion detection, threat modelling, and security operations leadership.
Founded Antler Labs in April 2026 to bring together the cyber security work he has spent a career doing with the consumer software products he has been wanting to ship for years. Based in Salisbury, working with clients across the UK and beyond.
In writing, before work starts. No surprises mid-engagement.
We do not over-staff projects. The person on the call is the person doing the work.
Technical specifications for our products are public. Cryptography choices, threat models, the lot.
Standard, mutual. We are used to client confidentiality. We do not require ours to be one-sided.
When it is not a fit. Honest referrals where we can.
Data residency, jurisdiction, working hours. We work with global clients but we are anchored here.
