About Hail — The Communication Platform for Schools & Communities

Hail was created to simplify communication. We saw schools and organisations struggle with complex tools and costly websites, so we built a secure, easy-to-use platform for everyone—from small schools to large enterprises. Today, Hail continues to be your trusted partner in sharing stories clearly and effectively.

Meet the Founders: Lisa and Stuart Dillon-Roberts​

Hail is made up of a passionate and dedicated team who are committed to delivering a world-class product.

At Hail, we believe technology should make communication simpler, safer and more human. From the beginning, our goal has been to create software that is thoughtfully designed, genuinely useful and a pleasure to use. Leading our talented team and seeing the impact of their work is an incredible privilege.

Hail began in education, shaped by a first-hand understanding of the challenges schools face when communicating with their communities. Today, Hail is used by schools and organisations to create, protect and share websites, publications, email, social media and app content from one connected platform.

As the digital environment has evolved, so have we. Security, privacy and responsible AI now sit at the heart of Hail, including new ways to help organisations protect people’s identities when sharing images online.

Making a meaningful difference.

Customer research shows that Hail can save organisations between six and eight hours each week, while 99% of customers say they would recommend us. We are immensely proud of these results, but our story has always been about more than software.

It is about the people and communities we support. Your feedback, ideas and trust continue to shape Hail and where we go next.

Thank you for being part of our story.
