Headcount: 119 (+148%)
Specialism: ERP software
HQ: Nottingham
Built on the merger of three Oracle partners in 2023, this FPE Capital-backed outfit bills itself as the UK’s “largest and most-experienced ERP solution partner”.
Fuelled by M&A, the NetSuite specialist’s average monthly headcount shot up from 48 to 119 between calendar 2020 and 2023, accounts show. Boasting an overseas office in Madrid, the Nottingham-based outfit is plotting further Spanish expansion in 2025, new CEO Chris Bunch tells us (see below).
Q&A with NoBlue2 CEO Chris Bunch
You’re one of the UK’s fastest growing IT solutions providers by headcount. What would you attribute that to?
Customer service, driving retention and long term relationships – plus some healthy recurring revenue lines. You can’t grow if you’re just replacing revenue all the time.
What’s your biggest growth bet for 2025?
Developing further software IP to enhance the NetSuite core offering.
What’s been your biggest tech let down of the last 12 months?
CrowdStrike’s mega-outage has to be up there. On a more personal experience level, the British Airways mobile app being catastrophically awful.
Name one thing your company has planned for the next 12 months.
Further expansion in the Spanish market.
Which industry peer do you respect the most?
In my recent time in the world of NetSuite, I’ve been most impressed by the ambition Maxime Lothe at NovuTech. In the world of tech services generally, I’d say Andre Azevedo at Ancoris is great at execution.
