Blend360, a multinational provider of data, talent, and analytics solutions for Fortune 500 companies, has announced the acquisition of an award-winning data company based in Scotland that specializes in Data Engineering, AI, and ML solutions, Forth Point.
The acquisition will boost Blend360's worldwide data capacity, which is an important step in the company's mission to be at the frontline of data innovation and delivery for clients. This acquisition comes at a critical juncture for both businesses, as the Forth Point team expands swiftly to meet increasing demand, and Blend360 wants to expand into new and existing European markets.
Forth Point, founded in 2021, has quickly grown to become a frontrunner in data solutions across EMEA. Forth Point provides end-to-end data solutions in a variety of industries. The company's premier services include strategy and consulting, data science, data engineering, and business intelligence.
In less than two years, the Edinburgh-based business has delivered innovative use cases with clients in industries ranging from energy and logistics to manufacturing to financial services. Forth Point solidified its position as a key participant in 2022 by clinching two DataIQ awards for AI innovation and excellence in sustainability.
Will Boyle, Founder and COO of Forth Point, said, "The vision for Forth Point was to build a business that delivered world-class data solutions and use cases." He also stated, "We've been successful in our mission to partner with clients to have a positive impact on the world while transforming their businesses through data and analytics. The people that make up our team are some of the most passionate and talented individuals I have ever worked with and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved over the last few years. I am looking forward to the next chapter for Forth Point as part of Blend360, and am excited to leverage their platform to build a truly special team in EMEA."
