Source Control Founded
Toby New began freelance trading as Source Control at the start of 2014, Initially specialising in Open Source CMS such as WordPress and Drupal.
The Team Expands
Now working with more clients, larger projects and generally more complex work, Sarah Watts joins the team as a web designer/developer along with James Watts as Editor and Videographer. Both join as consultants trading under their own Business, Design Sheep Limited.
Apexl Studios Registered with Companies House
With ever growing clients and projects, it was decided that Source Control should be incorporated as a fully fledged Limited company. As the name 'Source Control' was already taken by a now defunct garden supplies business, it was decided that was should register as Apexl Studios Ltd, a name previously reserved for a separate project, but fitting for use as a full service digital agency.
Video CDN Launched
In response to an urgent client request, We built and deployed a video CDN in a matter of weeks. The video CDN provides bandwidth dedicated to video streaming at an extremely competitive rate (compared to Vimeo Enterprise, Wistia etc). At the time of writing, the CDN is pushing about 250TB of data a month.
New Website Launched
After nearly 2 and half years of trading, Apexl Studios growing and the range of products and services provided increasing, we decided now was the time to update our brand and build and launch a new website.
