Going solely by the acceleration in its full-time employed headcount, UBDS IT Consulting is the fastest-growing outfit in this report.
The London-based digital transformation specialist has in recent years shifted from being resourced heavily through a network of associates, to being manned mostly by full-time employees, according to the commentary in its latest accounts.
This meant the Microsoft and VMware partner’s average monthly headcount shot up from two in its fiscal 2019 to 55 in 2022 (it ended that year with 78 full-time employees).
UBDS said it also enjoyed swift growth on the back of customer acquisition and account growth, with revenues rising 14% to £13.5m in its latest year.
Founded in 2000, UBDS provides cloud advisory, cloud transformation, advanced data analytics, AI, low code solutions, and cloud managed services. Its other key vendors include AWS, Templafy, Zscaler, Device42, Rubrik, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Nerdio, Anywhere365.
