For leaders tackling complexity and driving change, we deliver what matters most

Smart thinking. Human connection.
Bold delivery.

Our story

We started Catapult to serve complex, high-stakes organisations where systems are critical, delivery can’t fail and the cost of delay is measured in more than money.

From day one, we set out to be the partner leaders call, when they want more than promises. When they need outcomes that are engineered for today’s urgency and tomorrow’s growth, we deliver.

Our approach is simple. Combine deep technical expertise with a delivery model that’s built for speed, reliability and long-term flexibility, without sacrificing quality or control. That’s why we’re trusted in challenging environments where the margin for error is zero.

At Catapult, we don’t just build software, we give our clients the confidence to move faster, break boundaries and win.

Our leadership team

Alex Fishlock

Chief Executive Officer

With 25+ years in software delivery, I’ve led start-ups to IPO, and served as CTO. I originally founded Code Red to fix IT crises and now Catapult CX, to prevent them. An Oxford-trained engineer and hands-on technologist, I love code, restoring historic homes with modern tech and geeking out over big data in daily life.

Craig Cook

Principal Engineer

I build high-performing engineering teams that deliver impactful software, blending 20+ years of coding passion with leadership in Agile, DevOps and SRE. From global services to optimising team value, I believe people are as vital as technology. Outside work, I travel with my family, explore cultures through food and enjoy golf, tennis and snowboarding.

Louise Cermak

Principal Consultant

As an Agile and DevOps champion with deep engineering roots, I bridge strategy and tech to deliver quality software and ITSM transformations. A DevOps Institute Ambassador, I coach teams to replace fear of failure with a culture of innovation. Away from work, I’m often exploring art exhibitions, new cities, or skiing down a mountain.
