Airtable Development in Durham
Building operational tools in Airtable for Durham teams. Airtable sits usefully between a spreadsheet and a database, and its limits are real — record counts, automation runs and permission granularity all become constraints, usually just as the tool has become important.
Why this comes up
The problem
A process runs on a spreadsheet several people edit simultaneously. Data gets overwritten, there is no history, and nobody can see who changed what.
What you get
What we deliver
- Tables structured relationally rather than as a spreadsheet with extra columns
- Views built per role, so people see their work rather than everything
- Automations for the handoffs people currently chase
- Interfaces where the people using it should not see the underlying tables
- Record limits and plan tiers understood before you approach them
- An honest view on when the process should move to a real application

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Airtable Development in Durham — common questions
- When does Airtable stop being the right tool?
- At record limits, when permissions need to be granular per record, or when the process becomes business-critical enough that a base anyone can restructure is a risk. Those thresholds arrive together, usually once the tool has become genuinely important.
- Should users see the tables?
- Often not. Interfaces let you present exactly what someone needs to do their part without exposing the underlying structure, which reduces both confusion and the chance of someone deleting a field that everything depends on.
- How does the pricing catch people out?
- Record limits per base and automation run limits, both tiered. Bases grow steadily and hit a limit at an inconvenient moment, and the upgrade is per user across the workspace. Knowing where the thresholds sit is worth doing before you approach them.
- Is it a database?
- Not really, and treating it as one causes trouble. It has no proper constraints, transactions or reliable concurrent-write behaviour at volume. For operational coordination it is excellent; as a system of record for anything financial or regulated it is the wrong choice.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
