“Off shoring” as it’s also known has been popular for a while as a way for off-loading payroll, NI and pension obligations and also to lower business costs.

But what is often overlooked is that certain dev firms combine cost savings with an equal if not superior service. Yes it’s true London – due to being a global city attracting global talent – combined with a massive tech industry and sky high days rates does and continue to attract some of the best dev talent in the world.
But you’ve got to pay for that and often combining a London based dev managerial layer with outsourced development of all if not part of your requirements is a killer combo. So with that in mind let’s look at some of the best choices out there (please note you will need to research your exact stack requirements as developers tend to specialise on certain languages and platforms)
PLEASE NOTE: Remember that outsourcing brings it’s own risks and costs when handled badly. Even the cost of airfare to say a dev firm in India will add up and there’s nothing like a hidden outsourcing cost than poor communication, lack of productive ideas input and staff turnover.
For that reason you’ll notice for UK firms looking to outsource we’ve a strong preference for Eastern Europe and in particular Poland, although Romania, Hungry and Serbia all have excellent development cultures and teams.
Proceed with caution and we highly recommend you have a domain and/or experienced development professional to manage the process and expectation.
