Outcome: The awarded company received a clear blueprint of how mental health currently works, and how it can be enhanced to improve business process and customer support across a very complex ecosystem and emotive subject area.

“Outurn are great to deal with - they are capable of quickly identifying the "big picture" of a digital project, and then delivering the Service and UX designs needed to fulfil that vision.

They are also adaptable and strike a strong balance between the practical and the creative - which is very reassuring when managing project parameters.

They run a well-organised ship at Outurn and I've found the people there to be excellent in their digital specialties. I can wholeheartedly recommend Outurn.”
