Headcount: 119 (+1433%)

Specialism: Digital transformation 

HQ: London

This London-based HPE, Microsoft, AWS, Zscaler and CloudFlare partner’s average monthly headcount leapt from six to 92 between its fiscal 2020 and 2023 – propelling it into second place in the Fast-Growth 50.

During 2024, the digital transformation specialist acquired cybersecurity specialist 3B Data Security and launched Rayo, a joint venture in the AWS services space. Its headcount has now risen to as high as 195, it told us.

Having bagged B Corp status in October, UBDS Group is one of three companies in this report to hold the notoriously exacting sustainability certification.

UBDS’ revenues grew to around £21m in calendar 2024 (up from £13.6m a year previously), CEO Diptesh Patel recently told IT Channel Oxygen.

Q&A with UBDS Group CEO CEO Diptesh Patel

You’re one of the UK’s fastest growing IT solutions providers by headcount. What would you attribute that to?

Our growth has been fuelled by a strong talent strategy, a client-first mindset, and continuous innovation in our solutions. By investing in our people and fostering a culture of adaptability, we’ve stayed ahead of evolving market demands.

What’s your biggest growth bet for 2025?

We will evolve from a digital transformation provider to a ‘digital lifecycle’ partner, continuously adapting to client needs to drive ongoing improvement rather than one-off changes.

What’s been your biggest tech let down of the last 12 months?

Rushed AI adoption without standards like ISO 42001 has led to unreliable systems, security risks, and ethical concerns, undermining trust and sustainability.

Name one thing your company has planned for the next 12 months

Expanding our hub in India to drive innovative solution development while strengthening our investment in people by welcoming talented new colleagues

Bonus question: Which industry peer do you respect the most?

Kerv – I admire their ability to balance a people-centric approach with a well-executed M&A strategy, delivering impressive results.
