The future needs a human touch.

Fire Plus Algebra is a consultancy and training provider. We aim to bring together human creativity and communication with the right processes, frameworks and technology to help your organisation succeed.

We’re not trying to sell you a particular piece of software – we’re here to ensure that you and your team understand what’s possible, and how technology enables you to change minds and drive change.

We've developed our tried-and-tested approach and materials with a wide range of different clients, including:

• Growing startups and corporates (Carwow, Swiftkey, VEON)

• Public bodies (Arts Council, BBC, Electoral Commission)

• Health organisations (Health Foundation, NHS Improvement)

• Government departments (Department of Health and Social Care, Department of Education)

• Science organisations (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Biotechnology and Bioscience Research Council)

• Universities (Aga Khan University, Westminster University, Edinburgh University)
