Passio - Edinburgh

Tracey F.

Passio have worked with us at ARC Scotland to develop an interactive digital platform and associated tools to help young people with additional support needs, and their parents and carers, as they leave school and move on to young adulthood. It has been a brilliant experience working with the Passio team - they quickly got to grips with a very complex area, listened to us, and came up with flexible solutions that met our needs every step of the way. We were on a big learning curve, so it was wonderful to have people on board who not only know their stuff but who are patient, supportive of our values, and fun to work with. We would definitely recommend them to anyone working on a software project that pushes them well beyond their comfort zone!

this is a company which puts engagement with people alcohol to what they doThis is a company which puts engagement with people at the heart of what they do. Passio design websites and mobile solutions for disabled people. I was recently delighted to participate in research to help develop an app to allow disabled people to better plan journeys. Ashley and her colleagues were professional and made me feel part of the team. They fully believe in inclusion and were happy to work around by access needs as a registered blind person and someone with chronic pain. It was great to be involved and I felt as if, with them, I was helping to make a difference.

Explaining concepts around disability can often be challenging, especially to those who do not experience it themselves. However, Ashley did this brilliantly in a presentation she gave in January 2021 neuro diversity and the variety of learning difficulties/disabilities. She was great at taking questions and using her own experiences to highlight issues affecting disabled people in relation to transport, whereas also proposing reasonable and achievable solutions to overcome them.

This is definitely a company worth getting to know and I have no doubt that they will continue to come up with innovative solutions to help make the lives of disabled people and everyone else a little easier.

I could not recommend Passio highly enough..

This feels and will look to you like just another bulk standard recommendation, so much so that I would be surprised if I had continued it in the same vein if you would have believed a word I said or even continued reading at all.

The truth is that I met the senior management team of Passio professionally a number of years before the company was even thought of. I was working in the field of disability at the time and was taken by not only the level of knowledge Chris had of the subject matter but more importantly for me his ability to communicate with the disabled people he had pulled together for his research. I knew at that moment if I ever had the chance to work with him I would take it without hesitation.

Years later this opportunity arose and prior to commencement, I was introduced to the Passio team that would be working on our project. I was not surprised at all to find that the team he has grown, share the same passion for excellence through communication and understanding and having worked with them for over a year now I can truly say without hesitation that I can not recommend the Passio team highly enough.

You’ve heard that before....but I mean it.
