We build great concepts into businesses.
Ideas brought to life — new service lines and revenue streams, made real as tangible products with the go-to-market proposition to launch them. Twenty years at the cutting edge of innovation and emerging technology, with some of the world's biggest brands.
A concept on a slide isn't a business. We close the gap between the idea and the income — shaping it, building it, and taking it to market as something real and earning.
Sharpen the idea into a defined proposition — the emerging-tech angle, the market, and the route to revenue. We find the version worth building before a line of code is written.
Tangible software, real code, live in weeks not quarters. Designed and engineered in-house on a shared stack — Next.js, Supabase, Stripe — so quality and speed don't trade off.
The GTM proposition that turns a product into a revenue stream — positioning, narrative, and the launch plan. We don't hand over a build and walk; we get it earning.
Four concepts taken from idea to working product — each its own brand, its own market, its own revenue model. This is the capability, not a side project.
Reads a rider's position mid-challenge and fires a one-tap giving prompt at the moment that matters — the final climb, the last mile — deep-linking into JustGiving and Enthuse. A sharp, original mechanic, conceived and shipped end-to-end.
A mobile-first app for booking vetted local tradespeople — find, book, and pay for quality work without the chase. A commission marketplace taken from concept to live revenue events.
The record of your working life — every shift, reference and credential, signed by the people who saw it, owned by you, trusted by anyone who needs to check. Proof, not profiles — built for the agent economy.
A prototype testing network value across business-centre networks — run live with a 100+ client network. It proved the model worked but didn't scale commercially, so we retired it. Built, tested, and called with the same discipline as everything we ship.
A contemporary innovation lab carrying a founding date older than most countries. The heritage is real — and it's a story almost no competitor can tell.
Nick Riggall has spent two decades at the cutting edge of innovation and emerging technology — the place where new ideas either become real products or quietly die as strategy. 627 Labs is built to make sure they become real.
He founded GPJ Labs, the innovation arm of George P Johnson, and led strategy and digital alliances at KPMG UK — shipping emerging-tech work for Nike, Cisco, IBM, Salesforce, Unilever, and Warner Bros Discovery. The same hands now design and build the lab's own products.
The pattern was always the same: brilliant people, big ambition, stuck in frameworks that stopped them building. 627 Labs does the opposite — shape the concept, ship the product, launch the proposition.
Bring us the idea, the service line, the revenue opportunity. Thirty minutes, no deck required — you'll leave knowing whether it's worth building, and how.
