our history.
It’s 1999, and in one tiny room, came one big idea. Our Founder, Craig, and our much-missed Technical Director, Eddie, realised the future of content was live and online.

Keeping our place at the forefront of the industry, R&D is key to what we do, as our incurably curious team relish the challenge of exploring applications for new technologies. It’s a privilege that clients invite us to help them innovate, whether they need a new interactive feature for streaming to Facebook or something more experimental like building our live questions tool into Amazon’s back-end, we’re always here to help. We work tirelessly to make clients’ dreams come true and like our website from 2001 says, ‘If you can dream it, we can stream it’!
One of the most fulfilling projects we worked on was to create a live stream experience for the Disabilities Rights Commission that supported an unscripted transcription feature for deaf viewers. This involved building custom hardware and a software interface into a stenography machine which was a global first!

Our team is passionate about helping local communities when we can, from pro bono streaming events such as World Pneumonia Day’s 24-hour stream and Vodafone Foundation’s Gaming Event, to our corporate donations for employee-chosen charities each year.
We are currently donating a portion of our profits to Stonewall, which supports the LGBT+ community and campaigns for equality in the UK and globally.
Our founder, Craig, who was born in South Africa, also works hard to help other countries in Africa, including a village called Enkikwe in the Maasai Mara. After visiting this village with David, a local tour guide, Craig realised there was so much that could be done on a small scale that would have a huge impact on hundreds of people. So Groovy Gecko provides electricity, clothing and other materials to Enkikwe and we’re raising money to build facilities so the locals have access to fresh water and toilets. In the summer, they currently have to walk for over 50 miles to the nearest well and carry back what they can for their families.
We’ve been supporting this community for over 2 years and are always innovating within our teams to come up with new ideas on how we can do more for them. If you’re interesting in helping us build water systems and facilities in Enkikwe or helping them in other ways, please contact gg4good@groovygecko.com.
