About Skinkers

Established in 2000, Skinkers positioned itself early on as a specialist in utilizing the desktop as a direct message delivery channel for major corporations.

The company's initial focus was on producing custom desktop applications for a client roster that included prominent names like the BBC, American Airlines, and Microsoft.

A significant operational pivot occurred in 2006 with the development of the Live Notification Platform. This solution was engineered to enable businesses to conduct one-to-one or mass communications with their respective audiences, encompassing business-to-employee, business-to-business, and business-to-consumer segments. The platform's key feature is its cross-device capability, delivering messages to desktops, smartphones, email, and SMS. This enterprise-level communication tool was subsequently adopted by major financial and technology institutions, including Lloyds TSB, Aviva, and Acer.

By 2009, Skinkers revived its technical agency operations, taking on bespoke development projects with a specialization in cross-platform and cross-device applications. This service leverages the firm's deep experience in web and mobile technologies to assist clients in developing coherent application strategies. The objective is to create a unified organizational view across a spectrum of devices, from computers to smartphones and large screen displays. Furthermore, the company undertakes complex server and cloud integration projects for mobile, web, and desktop applications, offering secure hosting services.
