18 March, UK: Gloucestershire-based technology and Managed Service Provider (MSP) Emerge Digital has announced its B Corp Certification, setting the benchmark for the scaling business, its services and client growth.
The certification marks a period of strategic growth for the business following its recent expansion into South Wales and the appointment of Business Development Director, former professional rugby player Alex Cuthbert. Last month the company also revealed a new three-year deal as part of its technology partnership with premiership team, Gloucester Rugby.
The business now employs 24 team members, turnover has grown 15% year-on-year and the number of supported users has increased by 30% over the last 12 months.
B Corp Certification places Emerge Digital among a growing global movement of purpose-led organisations. The UK is home to more than 2,700 Certified B Corporations, making it the largest community of this type in the world, with 60 based in the county alone.
Among these UK businesses are several of the technology provider’s own clients including Gloucestershire-based education food supplier Green Gourmet, Lakes Showering Spaces and Equimedia, as well as Worcestershire businesses, Hewett Recruitment and Cytoplan UK.
A recent addition to Emerge’s client base is Widgit, a pioneering software company specialising in symbol-supported communication, which received its own B Corp certification in July last year.
Meeting all environmental, social and governance standards, supporting its certification, Emerge Digital has introduced a range of people-led initiatives. These include formalised training programmes, an employee assistance programme, a profit-sharing scheme, and up to two additional days’ paid leave each year for employees to support its chosen charities - Cheltenham Animal Shelter and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust – as well as a charity of their choice.
This people-first approach has also informed the planned launch of the firm’s new ApexAI service, designed to place employee digital wellbeing at the centre of AI adoption. By combining leadership alignment, foundational skills training, real-world workflow development, and ongoing community support, the programme helps teams adopt AI safely and sustainably, encouraging the use of technology to create positive, measurable impact for people.
Nigel Church, CEO, said: “At Emerge Digital, we’ve always believed that how you do business matters just as much as what you deliver. B Corp Certification validates the culture we’ve built, one that puts people, community and integrity at the heart of what we do, and it reflects the way we approach AI too, using technology to support people, reduce pressure and create positive impact.”
