More about us

Go Genie: from Pesky People and Telford District Council

Go Genie is an online tool that provides accessibility information to help people plan a journey to a destination or venue.

Information is drawn from crowd-sourced contributions.

The site is aimed at those whose situation means that they, or the people they care for, have quite specific access needs - such as the blind, wheel chair users, deaf, elderly or those recovering from injury.

A powerful ecosystem for innovation

We extend our impact through two specialised units that help people and organisations to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.

BIT

BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.

Challenge Works

Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
