Description

We are Lightfoot, a high-growth technology company based just outside Exeter that is focused on making a difference worldwide, one driver at a time.

We help businesses and private motorists improve performance and safety.

Our technology has been proven to reduce fuel use and emissions rates by 10-20%, and at-fault accidents and wear and tear by 40-50%.

Our technology connects to your vehicle's on-board computer and uses all the live data it produces to analyse how efficiently you are driving.

It's similar to how performance is analysed in Formula 1.

Lightfoot turns that data into simple feedback for you - the driver - so you know when you're pushing your vehicle too far and can bring it back to maximum efficiency.

We're a fun-loving bunch who are growing at an astonishing rate. We've moved into a brand-new, state-of-the-art office near Exeter in the beautiful Southwest (which was voted Exeter's 'Best Workspace'). We are excited to keep growing the Lightfoot family with like-minded, passionate individuals who share our values;

We care deeply.
We are innovative.
We deliver excellence.
We are customer first.
We are friendly and celebrate individuality.
