Our Story
A Brief History
From our humble beginnings in 2008, Annertech has grown to become the most innovative open-source digital agency in Ireland. We are widely considered to be the "go to" Drupal experts nationally and a number of our staff are internationally recognised contributors to the core Drupal platform.
Our story began when Stella Power recognised the need for an agency that would meet the requirements of the Non-Profit and Charity sectors in the most accessible and client-focused manner.
Having become synonymous with digital success in the area of Non-Profit organisations, we then expanded our focus to other verticals, most notably local and national government agencies and more recently in the corporate sector.
We are now proud to be working with the largest government departments and local government bodies in Ireland as well as on digital transformation projects for a multitude of corporate clients, from SMEs to multinationals. Our creative and professional approach, together with our use of open-source technologies, have led to Annertech becoming a multi-award-winning team and a thought leader when it comes to open-source software development.
Annertech UK has been in operation since 2022, and our inclusion on the Crown Commercial Service frameworks in 2023 and 2024 has opened our business to UK government clients. These include Essex County Council, Haringey Council, Barking and Dagenham Council, and Redcar and Cleveland Council.
