What Abstract Group does

Abstract Group is a privately held, Leeds-headquartered technology integration consultancy founded in 2017 by Minan Majid. It operates three service divisions: Abstract Transform (strategic consulting covering AI implementation, technology roadmap, and technical due diligence, plus an Office of the CTO offering), Abstract Tech (end-to-end technology delivery across application development, cloud adoption, data architecture, cybersecurity, quality assurance, and managed services, organised around Innovate/Develop/Operate phases), and Abstract Talent (fractional CTO/CIO services, interim technology specialists, technology team planning, and executive search). The company serves enterprise clients across Private Equity, Insurance, Legal, Energy, Government, and Education verticals, with named customers including the Scottish Government, Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, ENGIE, IRIS Software Group, and Smoothwall. Headcount is 51-100, with delivery operations in the UK, a doubled India offshore team, and a regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The company is technology-agnostic across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, and holds core partnerships with Microsoft and Ingram Micro Cloud, with newer GCC-focused ties to Groq & Aramco Digital and Lenovo surfaced at LEAP 2025. Its proprietary AI asset is the Abstract Claims AI Application, a RAG-augmented large language model that ingests insurance policy and claims content, transcribes claimant calls, summarises conversations, generates keyword lists, and presents email and attachment content, with reported client outcomes including 50-65% operational cost reduction, up to 57% claims processing time reduction, 30% improvement in AI-driven claims routing accuracy, and £60M+ annual savings for a named client. Security credentials include Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO27001 accreditation.

Abstract Group generates revenue through professional services engagements across its three divisions—project-based consulting for Transform, delivery engagements for Tech, and placement or retained search fees plus managed services arrangements for Talent's fractional CTO/CIO work. GTM is enterprise direct sales supported by thought leadership content, case studies, and event participation (notably LEAP 2025). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, suggesting organic or bootstrapped growth. Recent board and senior leadership expansion (Group CTO, two Non-Executive Directors with Accenture lineage, a Finance Director, and a Head of Engineering Operations) signals preparation for a step-up in scale rather than a sale or capital event.
