Multi-award-winning consultancy expands from Edinburgh HQ to service London's business ecosystem

LONDON, UK / Blend, a multi-award-winning data and AI consultancy, today announces the opening of its first London office based in Holborn, marking a significant milestone in the company's strategic expansion across the UK. This move represents Blend's commitment to meeting the demand from London-based clients for a critical partner that will help deliver value from POC to productionised solutions across multiple industries.

The new Holborn location positions Blend at the heart of London's dynamic business district, enabling the consultancy to work more closely with existing clients while building strategic relationships with new prospects seeking transformative data and AI capabilities. With Edinburgh serving as the UK headquarters, the new London location creates a powerful dual-city presence that enhances Blend's capacity to serve clients throughout the UK and broader EMEA region. This expansion comes as organisations across the capital increasingly recognise the critical need for partners who can bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and measurable enterprise value.

"Opening our London office represents a pivotal moment for Blend as we enter our next phase of growth," shares Neil Carden, President of Blend EMEA. " This expansion reflects our commitment to the UK market and positions us to better serve clients across the capital while building on the strong foundation we've established from our Edinburgh headquarters. It's an exciting new chapter that enhances our capacity to deliver for clients throughout the UK and broader EMEA region."

The Holborn office opening reflects Blend's broader growth trajectory across EMEA, building on recent leadership appointments including Natalia Mavrou's promotion to Service Lines Leader, VP and Shraddha Shekar-Smith's appointment as Client Success, VP for the Energy practice. These strategic moves underscore Blend's commitment to building deep sector expertise and expanding its delivery capabilities across key markets.

As organisations continue to navigate an increasingly complex data landscape, Blend's London presence ensures clients have access to the consultancy's full range of capabilities, from data strategy and consultancy, to Gen- and agentic-AI and machine learning, to data platforms, advanced analytics, CX and NBA. The new office represents not just geographic expansion, but an enhanced capacity to deliver the innovative, results-driven solutions that London's business community demands.
