Cheltenham-based Emerge Digital wins contracts worth £500k

As South West businesses seek to innovate operations 

16th December 2024, Cheltenham, UK: Cheltenham based technology and digital innovation provider, Emerge Digital has today announced a round of new contracts worth half a million pounds, as companies in the South West seek to innovate and modernise their operations. 

According to recent figures, the South West is one of the leading, emerging regions for tech in the UK, home to the fifth largest tech sector of the 12 major regions in the UK, while Bristol is the fourth-most-popular UK city for start-ups outside of London. 

South West businesses, Everhot, The HR Dept, Green Gourmet, Bannister Transport, 4R Group, Blueprint Project Solutions, and Deya Brewing Company are the latest in the region to undergo digital transformation projects with the support of Emerge Digital, while firms BWS Group, Lakes Showering Spaces, Frog Environmental, H&H Distribution and Constructing Excellence South West, have agreed ongoing IT support contracts. From AI adoption and app development to CRM updates and IT support, these new installations will update and improve the processes, products and outcomes for these businesses and their customers. 

In the last 12 months, Emerge Digital has increased its turnover by 30% and customer base by 26% with these latest contracts contributing to 84% growth for the Innovation arm of Emerge Digital’s business, which handles all client projects involving new, cutting-edge technologies, such as AI and automation. These projects are contributing towards Emerge Digital’s two-year growth plan to double its revenue by mid-2026. 

Nigel Church, CEO of Emerge Digital, said: “We’ve had a really good year driven by a demand among businesses in the region to adopt new, emerging technologies. We’ve helped these businesses to deliver against their ambition to digitalise, improving the way they operate and giving them the tools to service their customers effectively.” 

Jon Smith, Managing Director of 4R Group, said: “As a sustainable waste recycling company, it’s crucial that we provide transparency to our customers, especially those operating in fields like farming. Emerge Digital is helping us build an app which automates the generation of reports around soil assessments & soil health, a key tool which will support farmers to meet regulatory requirements. Although this project is still in motion, we’ve been extremely happy with Emerge Digital’s service so far and are looking forward to seeing the finished application.” 

John Lord, Chief Operating Officer of DEYA Brewing Company said: “Since we began working with Emerge Digital, they have helped us not only to modernise and improve our IT, but also to consider new technology which could streamline our operations, in the brewery, in the taproom and online. They are currently helping us with process automation and transformation, to find ways to boost efficiency and therefore profitability.”
