Leftshifted is an AWS Partner Network consultancy that helps mid-market firms and the UK arms of global enterprises get measurable commercial returns from AWS. We work remotely with a London base, which is how we typically enter projects, and we are judged on the business results AWS produces, not on how much infrastructure we sell. We are a data, AI, and cloud consultancy: AWS is the platform our strategies are built on.
Yes. Leftshifted is a member of the AWS Partner Network, and our team is formally trained across AWS pathways in Big Data, Developer, Advanced Solution Architecting, and DevOps, with advanced hands-on experience across a wide array of AWS services.
We have not paid to move up the partner tiers. That upgrade costs around £2,500, and as a small firm we have chosen not to spend that outlay on a badge right now, because we are not competing with the big players on sales. We compete on delivery. Our clients get senior AWS expertise and accountable outcomes without the sales machinery of a large systems integrator.
These are the questions we hear from every buyer, in their own words. Here are the direct answers.
You get a small, senior team that calls itself the head-chefs: the senior leaders doing the work themselves. There is no layer of juniors between you and the people who own the outcome. We are deliberately lean, so the people who set the direction are the same people who build and deliver it. That means no handoffs that lose context, no juniors learning on your budget, and no one in the chain who cannot make a decision. You work directly with the people accountable for your result, focused on the outcome, until it is done.
We deliver an outcome, to a deadline, on a fixed-fee statement of work, and we own the technical delivery so you do not have to. We agree the outcome and the date up front, then take full ownership of the design and build in between. Our team is formally trained across Big Data, Developer, Advanced Solution Architecting, and DevOps pathways, and senior people do the work.
Most sell you a day rate, and the work stretches to match the billing. We set a deadline and deliver against it. Rather than a three to six month day-rate project that you need to manage and with no guarantees, you get a fixed outcome and a finish line. We're not a large systems integrator with a sales machine, we're just very good at delivery. And we're the kind of firm and people the agencies get in behind the scenes anyway. We're a boutique, remote-first firm with a London base.
We have a track record of delivery for enterprise clients across EMEA, the US, and Asia, in music rights, telco, retail, insurance, and utilities, all at enterprise scale, so we're fluent in enterprise governance, procurement, and compliance. In 2026 we currently support two active clients on AWS, which means the work gets focused senior attention and you get capacity when you need it.
You get cost and timeline certainty up front: a fixed fee, an agreed outcome, and a deadline, before we start. There are no billable hours creeping past estimate and no juniors learning on your budget, which is where most projects quietly overrun. We often deliver the same outcome faster in addition to the certainty of the fixed price. Because we build on AWS every day, we also know how to help with your future strategy and cost optimisation, so the value continues after the project ends.

No. We recommend AWS where it is genuinely the right fit, and we are honest when it is not.
An AWS Partner Network (APN) partner is an organisation validated by Amazon Web Services for its AWS expertise, with access to AWS funding, training, and technical resources it passes on to its customers. Working with an AWS partner helps organisations align cloud architecture with business goals, improve cost efficiency across AWS services, and reduce operational and resilience risk.
No. We are cloud-agnostic across AWS, Azure, and GCP. We recommend AWS where it is genuinely the right platform for your outcome, and we tell you plainly when it is not.
Navigate → Deliver → Scale - Leftshifted's proprietary method, typically 90 days.
We agree the commercial outcome, assess your current AWS estate, and design the architecture against it.
We build and operate the solution on AWS, with senior technical oversight throughout.
We plan our exit from the start, set you up for success in the long-term and offboard the capability to your team, so you are never dependent on us. We like to work like this and we have a track record of happy customers where we've done this repeatedly.
Yes. We work remotely with a London base, and we most often enter projects through mid-market firms and the UK arms of global enterprises. Once in, we support the build at global scale: our team has delivered projects across EMEA, the US, and Asia, operating as a seamless extension of your existing team or systems integrator rather than replacing it.
We bring this AWS depth to mid-market firms and the UK arms of global enterprises, with particular strength in PR and communications, telco, music rights and publishing, insurance, utilities, and retail, where cloud engineering meets industry domain knowledge.
The team behind Leftshifted has delivered market-intelligence, price and real-time recommendation engines on AWS, as well as data and infrastructure migrations from on-prem to AWS, data stacks and AI platforms. Our AWS delivery spans EMEA, the US, and Asia, typically engaged by mid-market firms and the UK arms of global enterprises across telco, music rights, retail, insurance and utilities.
Some of this work was delivered under Leftshifted; some was delivered by members of the team before the company was founded. We list both because you are hiring the people, and this is the track record they bring with them.
We built a real-time, customer facing data product on AWS using AWS Fargate and AWS DynamoDB, that drove £10M+ in annual recurring revenue.
We migrated the business from on-premises to AWS, underpinning a £225M business case, while supporting a separate project that moved £20M+ in incremental revenue.
We used AWS EMR and AWS Glue to build a market intelligence engine that tracks competitor retail pricing, informing decisions that underpin a £bn P&L.
We used AWS Batch to orchestrate AI in production, securing £80M in funding for further price-investment decisions, again underpinning a £bn P&L.
We migrated the retailer's data estate from on-premises to AWS, alongside Snowflake.
We built a data stack on AWS using AWS ECS to host Prefect, with AWS Athena and AWS Glue, turning data insights and queries from days to seconds and removing a third-party dependency.
We built a copyright to usage, royalties matching engine on AWS, using AWS ECS to host the company's own Dagster and orchestrating ETLs that scaled from hundreds of inputs to millions, unlocking $60M in royalties from a $2M spend.
We used AWS SageMaker to train and deploy marketing models, proving a 10% reduction in customer acquisition cost and $600K in annual savings.
Book a short call. We agree the commercial outcome first, then assess your current AWS estate and give you a clear plan, including funding and savings you can use, before any commitment.
