8 West firmly believes in creating a culture of partnership with the clients with whom we are working, and establishing a shared basis for success.

Active collaboration starts with the fostering relationships, that allow for teams to form and work towards common goals. A critical element in this process is ensuring that the correct mindsets are established from the outset in the definition of roles and responsibilities, to enable any client to be confident from the beginning that 8 West is a partner they can work with.

Our ideal projects will be challenging technically, working with a client who is looking to push the boundaries of what is possible or struggling with challenges that may need complex solutions.
