AND Digital will utilise the investment from BGF to support the company’s continued growth and global expansion.

A total of 100 new jobs will be created over the next 18 months. 

In an effort to bridge the digital skills gap, which continues to widen across the UK, AND Digital will focus on both people and technology, empowering businesses to meet their digital goals by providing fast access to tech talent while working alongside in-house teams to speed up product development.

The new office and investment will ensure that AND Digital clients will benefit from accelerated digital delivery, combined with relevant, experiential up-skilling for their in-house teams.

Paramjit Uppal, founder and CEO of AND Digital, said: “AND was created to accelerate the digital capabilities of ambitious organisations of all sizes, but while technology is seen as an essential key to success, the digital skills gap can prevent businesses from realising their investment in technology as quickly or as completely as they’d like.

“We provide immediate access to the tech talent they require and co-create their products in partnership with them. Not only does that mean a better digital product shipped faster, but it also means our clients are building the digital skills of their in-house teams, effectively future-proofing them for on-going success.

“Scotland’s digital and tech sector has a worldwide reputation. The country is at the forefront of digital innovation, demonstrating global impact in many growth industries including robotics, space and data driven innovation. We’re proud to be joining such a thriving tech community to collaborate with a diverse range of businesses and help them to achieve their digital ambitions.”

Alex Snodgrass, an investor at BGF who will join the board of AND Digital, added: “AND Digital is a fantastic business, with a truly innovative and scalable approach to delivering technology services of the highest quality.

“Paramjit and the team have built an excellent track record in the market through working with some of the UK’s biggest enterprises. We’re delighted to be joining the business at such an exciting time, supporting the next stage of its growth journey to further expand across the UK and build an international offering.”
