About Us

We are Lightfoot, a high-growth technology company based just outside Exeter that is focused on making a difference worldwide, one driver at a time. We help businesses and private motorists improve efficiency and safety.

Our technology has been proven to reduce fuel use and emissions rates by 10-20%, and at-fault accidents and wear and tear by 40-50%. It connects to your vehicle's on-board computer and uses all the live data it produces to analyse how efficiently you are driving. It's similar to how performance is analysed in Formula 1. Lightfoot turns that data into simple feedback for you - the driver - so you know when you're pushing your vehicle too far and can bring it back to maximum efficiency. Beyond the vehicle, our proprietary gamification platform engages users via our app, giving our driver community the opportunity to engage in their performance and to win weekly cash prizes and rewards for achieving Elite Driver standard. Our solutions are highly differentiated from the competition which has helped us secure circa 300 of the UK's largest fleet customers including Tesco, Asda, Southwest Water, Iceland and Virgin Media to name a few.

More recently, we've started leveraging our gamification IP to expand our product offering to beyond drivers. With our new app-only solution we can now incentivise and reward all sorts of measurable behaviours for our customers, from physical activity to online order picking. We've now given away nearly £1m is prize money incentivising and rewarding desirable behaviours and are excited about the value this can bring to our customer and to our growth prospects.

We're a fun-loving bunch who are growing at an astonishing rate. We've moved into a brand-new, state-of-the-art office near Exeter in the beautiful Southwest (which was voted Exeter's 'Best Workspace'). We are excited to keep growing the Lightfoot family with like-minded, passionate individuals who share our values.

• We care deeply.
• We are innovative.
• We deliver excellence.
• We are customer first.
• We are friendly and celebrate individuality.
