Sweden’s Netlight hopes to shine in the UK

Stockholm-HQ’d digital SI, Netlight is set for a UK re-launch in the autumn. The firm’s soon to open new London premises will add to its current tally of twelve offices in Continental Europe and North America. Describing itself as “transforming ideas into reality in the digital landscape”, Netlight is hoping that its expertise in digitalisation will help it carve out a space in one of the world’s most dynamic IT services markets.

Founded in 1999, the Swedish company now generates c.£200m in annual revenue and employs some 2000 personnel in operations across Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Canada. Netlight’s services range from strategy to implementation and its 350+ clients span the public and private sector domains.

The firm’s first foray into the UK began at the start of the millennium but appears to have largely petered out some six years later. Returning in a few months with “renewed focus”, the Swedish service provider will be met by an intensely competitive market that continues to face stiff trading headwinds. The digital SI believes, however, that its abilities to combine “contemporary technology with a collaborative and inclusive approach to business transformation” will help it make a mark in this country. We will watch for Netlight’s progress here with interest.
