About us
TDW are the independent digital consultancy that helps ambitious ideas land properly.
What we do
We're a senior-led independent consultancy working closely with brands to deliver ambitious, scalable digital platforms. We combine human insight and experience with thoughtfully applied AI, bringing structured thinking and a long-term perspective to every engagement.
The clients we work with value our experience across technical strategy & architecture, design & user experience, and development & project delivery.
Our consulting offer is designed to meet the varied needs of digital teams who are shaping a new initiative or are looking for ways to improve and maintain an existing platform.
Our story
Two Degrees West launched in 2023, but the partnership behind it began nearly two decades earlier when Patrick and Paul met studying Geography in Manchester in 2004.
The name is a nod to where we met in Manchester, close to 2° west of the Greenwich Meridian, and to what we learnt there, which continues to inform how we approach our work today, bringing clarity, structure and discipline to complex digital challenges.
Paul Gregory
Paul is a seasoned software engineer with a passion for building scalable, maintainable digital products. With a background spanning architecture and front-end development, he brings structure to complexity, ensuring platforms are well considered, technically sound and built to scale from the outset.
Patrick Hamilton
Patrick leads delivery and client relationships, ensuring projects run smoothly and teams stay aligned. With experience leading large-scale delivery teams, he brings clarity, momentum and accountability, giving clients confidence that work is on track and outcomes are delivered properly.
What sets us apart

Senior-led from start to finish
Every engagement is led by experienced practitioners from start to delivery, ensuring continuity, accountability and confident decisions. - 03
Built to scale, not rebuilt later
We design digital products for growth from day one, avoiding unnecessary rework as ambition evolves. - 04
Built for the long term
We design with change in mind, ensuring platforms can evolve, scale and perform as organisations grow. - 05
Shared ownership
We work as partners, not suppliers. Sharing responsibility, aligning on outcomes and committing to success together. - 06
Thoughtful use of AI
We believe in using AI when it boosts human ingenuity and not just because we can.
