Innovative start-ups changing the UK

Deliveroo
Deliveroo is a fast-growing business in the UK which many readers will be familiar with. As we know, their state-of-the-art app allows customers takeout from thousands of restaurants, many of which had never attempted home delivery before the start-up exploded onto the scene. Deliveroo is now worth just under an eye-watering £2 billion.
Behind the food order platform, Deliveroo has made many subtle differences to the UX journey. Its inclusion of Deliveroo Plus allows users to cut down their delivery fees if they pay a small fee. The small fee is netted out if the user orders at least once a week.
Revolut
From moving home to home food delivery, now we take a look at a fast-growing international bank. In essence, Revolut is an application developed for keeping your finances in check. They have surmounted an outstanding 10 million personal customers with strong business customer growth to boot. What’s unique about Revolut is the number of solutions they support from budgeting tools to analytics. Revolut makes transferring money internationally simpler, reducing fees and reducing the friction of borders. All of this has led to Revolut becoming one of the biggest neo-banks operating in the UK & Europe.
REGnosys
Another technology start-up hailing from the UK is Regnosys. Their primary technology is something they call ‘Rosetta’. REGnosys, in their own words, looks to implement the Common Domain model. They do this across the financial sector where compliance is extremely important. What makes REGnosys a unique start-up is that they have developed a way to significantly reduce costs and risks based on different product life cycles.
