About Mantle
Mantle Development, at the core of your business.
Mission
Our central mission is to empower the UK business community by developing and implementing high quality bespoke software and website solutions that enable firms to grow by overcoming barriers, reducing costs through efficiencies and maximising their ability to work on opportunities.
Vision
Our vision is to be the new standard for how a creative business can work for all, as a positive working environment that fosters & encourages team members growth & education, in and out of work, and as a dependable long term business partner for our clients by delivering to the highest standard at every opportunity, enabling them to supercharge their growth.
Our Values
As a specialist website and software developer our values were built around the core principle of ensuring that we communicate with clients, listening and advising, to understand what they think they need, as well as what they could benefit from, to deliver the most user friendly and comprehensive solutions every time.
Cooperative by design
We work with you, not at you. Your team's insight fuels our technical expertise, creating solutions that fit seamlessly into your real operations.
Holistic thinking
E-commerce doesn't exist in a vacuum. Operations don't, either. We look at your business as a whole to ensure every system works together—front-end, backend, logistics, finance, customer service and beyond.
Proactive approach
We anticipate the needs of tomorrow while solving the challenges of today. Scaling, security, future integrations—we design with longevity in mind.
Pragmatic at heart
Complex workflows? Weird edge cases? Legacy quirks? Perfect—we love dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a practical way.
Fun to build with
Yes, we take our work seriously. But we keep the project process collaborative, open and enjoyable. Software should make life easier—not more stressful.

View the teamOur Story
Mantle was founded in February 2019 by friends Simon Crow and Joe Newton. Starting life as Maple Tree Web Design, the two of them originally set up the business to make some extra money part time alongside their employed roles working in development and sales & marketing respectively. In its infancy the business focussed on building websites, offering marketing support, and producing small scope software projects.
However, as time went on they quickly realised that their practical, hands on, and engaged approach offered a refreshing change for clients. Like all agencies they would start with a brief and desired outcome, but unlike other agencies they took the time to understand how the business worked, how their employees would engage with the system, and what their plans looked like to understand if the system needed future proofing in any way, digging into the clients business to understand how they could most effectively support them with comprehensive and user friendly solutions.
This approach allowed them to retain clients over long periods of time as they supported with ad-hoc work and took on additional projects, and through positive word of mouth the number of clients they were supporting grew quickly, leading to Maple Tree becoming a full time endeavour for Simon in 2022.
Since then the business has continued to grow, supporting more clients across a wider range of sectors and taking on bigger and more complex projects. This led to our rebranding in March 2025, taking on our new name of Mantle Development - A name that we felt better reflected the foundationally important role we were playing in many of our clients businesses, providing a service that was often at the core of how they were able to run effectively and stay competitive as a business.
How can we help you
Through software, IT infrastructure, and process development, our goal is to help businesses improve their processes to be the best they can, and that starts with you. We provide the best solutions by starting the discovery process with you, getting to know your business, what you do, how you do things, understanding what you would like to do differently, and what your future plans for the business are.
Once we've gotten a thorough understanding of where you are now and what you'd like to achieve, we'll put together a proposal outlining where we can add value, saving money, solving problems, and enabling growth.
