Raise the Bar
We care about quality in how we think, how we deliver, and how we show up. If something can be better, we improve it. Good enough rarely is.
This is Venn
We’re a mix of designers, developers, strategists, marketers, and people who often find themselves working across more than one area.
Some joined early in their careers. Some came from different industries. Many have grown into roles they didn’t expect when they started.
We care about doing things properly. We hold high standards, back each other, and take ownership of the work.
We’re always on the lookout for curious minds, kind humans, and people who care about doing great work.
We build ambitious things with good people, hold high standards, and care deeply about doing the work properly.
So You Know What to Expect
You should feel confident about us too. When you meet the team, you’ll get a better sense of how we operate. Until then, these are the values that guide how we work.
Own the Outcome
If your name’s on it, it’s yours. We take responsibility for results, follow things through properly, and don’t pass the problem on.
Stay Curious
We ask questions, test ideas, and keep learning. The industry moves quickly, so we stay open, adaptable, and willing to rethink things.
Move With Intent
We move fast, but not carelessly. We make considered decisions, prioritise what matters, and act with purpose.
Build Together
We don’t work in silos. We share ideas, challenge each other constructively, and support one another to get the best result.
Communicate Clearly
We say what we mean. We give honest feedback, keep conversations open, and don’t hide behind jargon or politics.
Respect the Room
Be ambitious. Be driven. Be decent. We value different perspectives and treat clients and teammates with respect.
Our Mission
To help organisations build, connect, and hire with intention by enabling thoughtful, flexible hiring experiences through technology.
-
Why it matters
Hiring shapes companies. It shapes careers. It shapes culture.
When hiring becomes transactional or rushed, everyone feels it. We believe it should be more considered, more transparent, and more human for the organisations hiring and the people applying.
-
Our approach
We design technology around clarity, flexibility, and real experience. Our platform helps organisations show who they are, engage meaningfully, and hire with purpose, not just process applications.
We focus on quality over noise and long-term value over short-term wins.
-
What sets us apart
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all hiring. Every team operates differently, and our technology adapts to support that.
It’s not about replacing people with automation. It’s about enhancing human connection with thoughtful tools and clear journeys.
-
Where we’re heading
The future of hiring belongs to organisations that lead with intention, credibility, and experience.
We’re building Venn to support that shift, helping teams create hiring experiences people genuinely want to be part of.
What makes the problems we solve at Venn interesting or rewarding to work on?
“From my perspective, working across the entire web project lifecycle, it is rewarding to see a project launch and receive that first job application. Not only generating leads and revenue for the client but also helping someone secure their potential dream job!"
"Every site we build isn’t just a bunch of pages. We think carefully about each one so it actually engages our clients’ clients. And the best part is seeing the difference it makes—more traffic, more leads, more revenue. Even seeing clients act on recommendations we’ve made and the real impact that creates is what makes the work so rewarding."
"I find the work at Venn rewarding because we solve complex technical problems - like scalable integrations and platform reliability - that directly impact our clients’ ability to hire efficiently. The challenges keep the engineering interesting, and the fact that our work improves real hiring experiences for clients and candidates makes it meaningful."
"From a content perspective, it is really rewarding to see a website rank higher on Google after we have rewritten content, such as landing pages, or created resources such as blogs, using high-volume keywords. Recognising that this helps their visibility is a great thing to see afterwards."
Benefits and Rewards
Work should feel rewarding. Not just financially, but in how you grow, how you’re supported, and how you enjoy your time here.
We take the work seriously. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Reward & Progression
If you’re growing, your role and reward should grow with you.
We review salaries every year and make sure progression is clear, not mysterious. Where it makes sense, commission and bonus structures recognise real contribution.
- Annual salary review
- Commission structures
- Performance-based bonuses
Holiday & Time Off
Rest is part of doing good work.
You’ll get 25 days’ holiday each year, plus an extra day for every year you’re with us. And a half-day off on your birthday. No “just checking emails”.
- 25 days’ holiday
- Loyalty days each year
- Birthday half-day
Learning & Development
You’re not here to stay the same.
We give access to learning platforms, fund relevant courses, and run monthly Lunch & Learns where the team share ideas, opinions, and occasionally strong takes. Pizza helps.
- Learning platforms
- Funded development
- Monthly Lunch & Learns
Health & Wellbeing
Looking after yourself shouldn’t be complicated.
Fresh fruit arrives daily. There’s discounted gym membership onsite. Woodland walks when your brain needs air. And a Simply Health contribution for the practical bits.
- Discounted gym membership
- Simply Health contribution
- Daily fresh fruit
Flexibility & Family
Life isn’t always predictable.
We support working parents and offer flexibility where it matters. We care about outcomes, not who’s sat at a desk the longest.
- Flexible working options
- Support for working parents
- Outcome-focused culture
The Little Extras
Some things just make the day better.
Work lunches. A beer fridge. An onsite pub. Collaboration spaces. Forest breaks. Alderley Park genuinely helps here.
- Onsite pub
- Beer fridge
- Inspiring workspace
How We Got Here
From a small office in Wilmslow to a product-led tech business at Alderley Park, Venn has evolved a lot since 2010. Here’s the story so far.
2010
Venn Is Founded
Brian Whigham launches Venn with a focus on accountability and performance in digital.
2011
Wilmslow Office Opens
Our first Wilmslow office opens. We hire our first designer, Justin. He’s still here. Make of that what you will.
2012
2012
We expand to Farringdon, London, growing the team and widening our reach.
2013
Revenue Passes £1 Million
A big milestone. A bigger sign we were onto something.
2014
A Breakthrough Year
Momentum built properly. Revenue climbed, the team expanded, and Venn started to feel bigger than a small agency with ambition.
2015
Thinking Bigger
With over 100 websites launched globally, we stepped confidently beyond our early roots and into international work.
2016
One to Watch
Recognised by GP Bullhound as one of the agencies to keep an eye on, with £2M in annual revenue.
A big moment for the team and proof that what we were building had real traction.
2017
Award-Winning Work
We won Prolific North Creative Campaign of the Year.
It meant a lot, not just because it looked good on LinkedIn, but because it reflected the standard we hold ourselves to.
2018
Product-Led, By Design
We shifted our focus and committed fully to becoming a product-led business.
Less one-off projects, more long-term platforms. It was a bold move and the right one.
2019
Large Digital Agency of the Year
We took home the award and moved into our new HQ at Alderley Park.
A proud year that showed how far we had come and how serious we were about the next stage.
2020
A New Home at Alderley Park
The Glasshouse became our base. A space built for collaboration, thinking and the occasional competitive streak.
The setting may have changed, but the standards stayed high.
2021
A New Chapter for Venn
We rebranded to reflect our evolution and the launch of Vennture.
New identity, sharper focus, and a clearer direction for where we were heading.
2022
Backing Ourselves
£250,000 invested into Vennture from our own pocket.
If we believe in something, we commit to it properly.
2023
Growing Into The Nest
Following a 61 percent increase in headcount, we launched a larger tech HQ in The Nest.
More space, more capability, and more people pushing each other to be better.
2025
Reinventing Job Search
We launched our new job search plugin, changing how companies connect with candidates online.
Alongside high-performing careers websites, we built tools that support the full attraction engine, helping organisations like Stockport County engage, convert and hire better.

Social & Community
We like the work. We also like each other.
Quarterly team events, Friday drinks, Alderley Park activities, and the kind of socials that make Monday mornings slightly louder than usual.
