ABOUT US
WHAT IS THE CAN FACTORY WAY?
Although Can Factory has extensive experience with a wide variety of operating systems, databases, development languages and environments, we don’t focus on any particular ‘preferred’ technologies. Rather than falling back on what we already know, the Can Factory team are always encouraged to use our expertise to recommend solutions and technologies that are specifically tailored to address each individual business case.
Our dedicated team are ready to help you

Joe Trewin HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT
Joe has been working in the Internet industry long enough to witness (and sometimes to have had a hand in) the wrong way to do nearly everything.
As a result, he is now well placed to know the right way to do things, or at least to recognise the wrong ways. Which makes him ideal to be our Head of Development.
Joe’s mission at Can Factory is to get things right, something which began in 2004 with the adoption of Java as the core technology and continues to this day with proper systems’ development practises.

WARREN KERRIGAN – MANAGING DIRECTOR
OUR HISTORY
Whether you’re trying to maximize returns on existing investments, exploit new revenue streams, or capture and keep strong customer relationships, every business is facing similar challenges in the race to realise the true potential of networked digital technology. London software development company – Can Factory has the ability to drive advanced technology throughout the enterprise – to truly integrate and transform its core processes – will be the mark of game-changing market winners. When people ask about us, we primarily stress that for software projects we are the “Can Do” company.
Can Factory was created to deliver all of these things and more. After a number of unsteadying years in the digital space, Can Factory was created to challenge some of the old rules that managed to lodge themselves in a new market. Too many consultants, agencies and technology partners said, “It can be done”, and then they don’t or can’t deliver. Can Factory is here to change that, by applying it’s experience of consistently delivering profitable commerce platforms across multiple channels.
We consistently deliver cost savings, performance increases, improved revenues and better control of commerce and content applications, by understanding our clients’ business. After the success of attending the weekly board meetings of a well-known national retailer for six months (during the build of their commerce platform), we gained a unique understanding of the issues they faced within their business. This in turn helped us deliver them a solution that fully met all of their needs. Since then Can Factory has always worked closely with its clients to make sure that we are building a solution that is not only going to show return on investment, but it is also going to meet the needs of the business as a whole.
Can Factory was created from a desire by Warren Kerrigan (CEO and Founder of Can Factory) to build a business that understood its clients, delivered ground breaking technology solutions that made business sense in the current market. All the while he wanted to enjoy doing it, and doing it well. Warren first got involved in the digital arena in the UK in 1989 working with the likes of Barclays Online (business to business eCommerce solutions), Demon Internet (one of the first mainstream ISPs in the UK) and Barclays Square to name but a few. He then went on to create the first business to business eCommerce site in the UK. In 1997, Warren joined Foresight / Wheel as the CTO and managed the build of commerce solutions for clients such as Interflora, Early Learning Centre, River Island, Argos, Marks & Spencer and Disney to name but a few. Bringing real technology experience to the young Internet environment meant that the solutions built in the early days are Foresight are still running today in many of the clients sites.
Can Factory truly are a ‘Can Do’ company, and they are the right choice as your partner in the digital arena.
