Cooper Parry Digital launched to support the UK mid-market with joined-up technology expertise
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 5 May 2026
Cooper Parry Digital is a new integrated digital and technology proposition designed to support mid-market businesses as they navigate rapid transformational change via AI, under a backdrop of ever rising cyber threats and growing commercial opportunity.
The launch marks one of Cooper Parry’s core growth pillars along with Professional Services and Wealth. Reflecting both a significant commercial opportunity and a long-term commitment to supporting the UK mid-market through a period of unprecedented technological change.
This new proposition brings together Cooper Parry’s specialist capabilities across digital consultancy, ERP and CRM platforms, data and AI, and cyber security into a single, joined-up offering. Responding to a clear gap in the UK market, where mid-sized businesses are often underserved by large consultancies and constrained by either too much ‘blue sky thinking’ or fragmented point solutions.
The UK mid-market plays a critical role in driving economic growth, yet many businesses struggle to access practical, high-quality technology advice that balances innovation with commercial reality. Cooper Parry Digital has been created to address that need, combining deep technical expertise with Cooper Parry’s wider strengths across finance, accounting, audit, tax, risk and wealth.
With more than 200 digital specialists and growing, Cooper Parry Digital works with businesses to help them grow faster, run leaner and manage risk more effectively, providing hands-on delivery alongside strategic advice.
Cooper Parry Digital holds deeply respected and award winning alliances with global platforms, including being Europe’s leading NetSuite Alliance Partner and a Salesforce Platinum Partner, alongside a highly respected cyber security capability. All underpinned by a team of ex-CIOs and leaders in digital transformation.
Ade Cheatham, Cooper Parry CEO on why Cooper Parry Digital was established:
“The UK mid-market is the powerhouse of our economy, yet when it comes to high-quality transformative advice it has been chronically underserved. Large consultancies focus on the very biggest organisations, while smaller providers tend to offer narrow, disconnected solutions.
Cooper Parry Digital is a deliberate, strategic response to that gap. We are investing seriously because technology, data and AI are now fundamental to how businesses grow, manage risk and remain competitive. This is both the right thing to do for our clients and a clear commercial opportunity for Cooper Parry as a next gen professional services group.”
Asif Ahmed, MD Cooper Parry Digital on supporting mid-market businesses:
“Every CFO, business owner or investor we speak to is grappling with keeping up with the pace of change. AI strategy, cyber risk and digital platforms have moved away from being a conversation about ‘technology’ but rather a business critical priority to drive value.
Cooper Parry Digital exists to make this real and practical. We support with hands-on expertise that helps businesses and their owners adopt the right strategy at the right time, without losing sight of cost, risk or return on investment. Our focus is on delivering the outcomes that matter."
With a background from working with in ‘Big 4’ consulting and as founder of embracent, now part of Cooper Parry Digital, Mark Lockton Digital Partner said:
“One of the biggest challenges for mid-market leaders is having to stitch together technology advice from multiple specialists who rarely see the whole picture. They often don’t have the hands-on experience of being operators in the field and give academic advice rather than practical help.
Cooper Parry Digital offers something genuinely different. Clients get access to real-world technical expertise across platforms, data, AI and cyber, alongside Cooper Parry’s wider financial, risk and governance capabilities. That joined-up experience leads to better decisions, smoother delivery and far better results for the business as a whole. Our clients including Revolut, Venterra, Modulaire, GoCardless and Chilly’s are benefitting from this approach.”
Cooper Parry Digital was formally launched at an internal event on 30th April, which brought together more than 230 people from across the teams that now make up the Digital proposition. The event marked a significant milestone in the integration of specialist digital businesses, some of which joined Cooper Parry through acquisition over the past year. Underscoring the firm’s commitment to building a single, connected digital capability with shared values, culture and ambition that sits within the next gen professional services group.
