Who we are

We help organisations see how their teams really work

Immersive Edge is an Edinburgh company, founded in 2017 and formerly known as GingrTech.

Edge Experience, our family of one-day business simulations, puts teams in charge of a virtual business under real pressure, where mistakes cost nothing but teach everything. Edge Assess evaluates how candidates actually perform rather than how they interview, and Edge Academy delivers the same behavioural scenarios as self-paced learning.

Organisations use us for diagnostics, training and change management. Insight people discover for themselves is insight that sticks.

The idea it all rests on

Tim Dew founded Immersive Edge on a simple conviction: the only change that lasts is the change people arrive at themselves. Not change explained to them, or announced at them, but change they work out in the room and then own.

How better to do this than to let people experience a change in a safe simulated environment, understand the impact and what it means to them, and adapt to that change by modifying their own behaviour.
