What Nimble Approach does

Nimble Approach (legal entity: Nimble Delivery Limited) is a UK-based technology consultancy founded in 2020 by Chris and Dan Roberts. Headquartered in Sheffield with regional offices in Leeds and Manchester, the company employs 101–250 staff and operates as a private, founder-controlled business that received growth investment in 2020. It delivers digital transformation, product development, AI, cloud engineering, data, and testing services to enterprise and mid-market clients across the UK.

Its service portfolio is organised around three core pillars — Strategy and Advice, Product and Design, and Digital Solution Delivery — plus a set of specialised technology practices: AI-Driven Development, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Full Stack Engineering, User-Centred Design, Cloud and DevOps (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure), Testing, Mobile Development, Agile Coaching, and Data. Underlying technology competencies span multi-cloud architectures, serverless computing, data platforms (including Databricks Lakehouse, BigQuery, and AWS Glue), and a dedicated AI practice branded "think nimble ai" that builds multi-agent systems using A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocols, generative AI applications, RAG-based conversational analytics, predictive maintenance models, and anomaly detection solutions. Nimble Approach holds partnerships with AWS (Select Tier, Public Sector Partner), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Databricks, and maintains ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.

The company operates a professional services revenue model: embedded consultant teams deliver multi-year engagements at negotiated fees, with revenue sourced from consultancy charges for skilled personnel and project delivery. Pricing is quote-based, varies by scope and seniority, and is not publicly disclosed. Customers span sports and gaming (Flutter Entertainment, Betfred, Sky Betting and Gaming, The Pools), public sector (Department for Education, NHS), retail (Asda), media (ITV), HR technology (BrightHR), education (National Fostering Group, Lionheart Educational Trust, MyTutor), telecommunications (Dstny), manufacturing (Texmo Blank, Texmo Industries), financial services (Wealthify), and non-profit (Good Things Foundation). Distribution is direct, enterprise-led, and supplemented by thought leadership through blogs, a dedicated AI hub (think.nimbleapproach.com), industry events (ProductTank Manchester), and a multi-channel social presence.
