They’re committed, keep us informed, and update us on what they’re doing with our mutual customers. Kagool is quick to involve us where needed and this joint collaboration helps to deliver customer success.
Kagool has one of the largest Sitecore teams in the UK. They have a depth and breadth in their understanding of Sitecore. This allows them to deliver projects at scale to mid-tier and enterprise customers both nationally and globally.

I’m immensely proud of our team and how committed and capable everyone is. We’ve been Sitecore partners since the technology first became available in the UK. This award is a testament to all the hard work we’ve put into really mastering the technology over the past decade.
Since focusing exclusively on Sitecore we’ve consistently delivered digital solutions that provide a real business benefit to our clients. These are typically large organisations, many of them global businesses”
