Our mission

Helping local businesses find and win new customers

Our values

Integrity

In an industry full of promises, without the results to match, we believe in being upfront and honest in all of our conversations. No hard sales, no BS, no nonsense.

Excellence

We never settle for mediocrity. Whether we’re solving internal challenges or serving customers, we always go the extra mile to get the job done right.

Passion

We created Zapo because we care about local businesses. We want to see you succeed for the sake of your community, as well as in recognition of your hard work.

Collaboration

We understand that no one knows your business as well as you do. That’s why we work together to give your business what it needs to scale its operations.

Innovation

We’re always looking for ways to work differently, to improve upon what’s been done before. This is where our thinking begins and how our services evolve.

“Our vision is to improve the customer acquisition process for local businesses, by creating a more seamless transition between marketing and sales.”
Nick Cole, CEO

Jo’s favourite part of any day is speaking with our clients, hearing their success stories, and understanding what matters most to them. Her life in customer care started at a jeweller’s shop (hearing perfect proposal plans), and connecting with people remains one of her superpowers. When customers come rolling in, you can be sure Jo will be celebrating in your corner too.

Natasha manages Zapo’s legal and administrative processes. She loves seeing the results roll in, and as a qualified solicitor, you can be sure she’s keeping an expert eye on the details too. She is organised, process driven, and makes sure our customers are always happy and understand our services. Outside work she loves spending time with her family and walking her dog – and with a keen eye for business, there’s not much Natasha can’t do.

Antonia creates powerful landing pages for our clients: editing images, laying out pages, and crafting the campaigns that will bring in those leads. (You’ll also find her over on our blog and social media accounts.) She loves seeing Zapo grow and her tireless efficiency makes a big difference – she’s also an avid reader and aspiring writer, having archived more than half a million words online to date.

Day-to-day, Holly helps generate leads for our clients by implementing ad campaigns, optimising keywords, and managing budgets. An experienced digital marketer, she’s always looking for ways to improve, and believes in the power of an analytical mindset. She thrives amongst the close-knit Zapo family – that is when she’s not enjoying an expertly crafted coffee or training for a half-marathon.

Once he’s had his morning cup of tea, James takes charge of everything technical. He develops Zapo CRM, optimises database queries, automates regular processes, and builds tools that keep things running smoothly. He loves seeing a design come to life, and there are few programming languages he can’t get to grips with. As a Get Work veteran before we transformed into Zapo, he lives by the philosophy: “Never push software updates out on a Friday.”

Nick keeps us firmly on track, and dreams up the future. With a background in business and advertising, he wants to make it easier for local companies to succeed online, and scale their operations. He took Get Work from concept to delivering over £460m in leads for UK businesses, and now, he’s in charge of Zapo’s vision. He’s always hunting for new ways to improve our service to help our clients find more customers – and he’s a competitive soul: running, football, padel… you name it, he loves a challenge.

Origin

In the heart of Lytham stands an iconic windmill. It’s a sight that shapes the skyline, and though its blades no longer turn, the windmill’s legacy continues to inspire Zapo to this day.

Way back in 1805, Lytham Windmill was built to automate grain milling, boosting productivity for the local community.

Similarly, we built Zapo to automate customer acquisition; helping local businesses, find local customers.

Just as local communities once relied on windmills, local businesses now depend on us to thrive.

So, we've adopted the windmill, to always remember our origin and our mission.
