Scrumconnect invests further in growth by expanding to Edinburgh, its third major delivery centre

Scrumconnect, the award-winning AI and digital transformation specialist, today announced its expansion into Scotland with the opening of a new delivery centre in Edinburgh. The move marks the company’s third major UK hub, representing a strategic investment in the local economy and a direct response to increasing demand for user-centred data and AI-first digital services in Scotland.

‍

As a specialist in public and regulated sectors, Scumconnect’s expansion brings a proven track record of large-scale government-grade delivery to the local market. The Company currently contributes to over 20% of the UK’s most significant citizen-facing public services, servicing major departments including HMRC, the Department for Work and Pensions, and the Ministry of Justice. With a community of over 300 skilled consultants, Scrumconnect’s data-driven delivery approach has supported more than 50 million citizens and delivered upwards of £250 million in public savings. 

‍

The new Edinburgh office joins Scrumconnect’s existing hubs in London and Newcastle, and is set to become a major pillar in the company's nationwide growth story. The expansion will create high-value local tech jobs to support the Company’s existing portfolio of national contracts, while actively pursuing local enterprise clients and the Scottish Government.

‍

Additionally, in support of the region's thriving digital ecosystem, Scrumconnect will create further talent pathways through advanced tech training, vendor certification and upskilling via the upcoming Scrumconnect Academy, which is set to be implemented across both Scotland and England later this year.

‍

Speaking on the expansion, Praveen Karadiguddi, Scrumconnect Chief Executive Officer, said: “Scotland represents a massive strategic opportunity for Scrumconnect and we see an incredible alignment between our delivery culture and the ambition of the Scottish Government's drive towards digital innovation. This investment will see us bring our same client-first delivery frameworks that have successfully supported large-scale public services across the UK, and apply them collaboratively here. By establishing a permanent home in Edinburgh, we are primed to work side-by-side with local enterprise and the Scottish Government, all while combining our shared expertise with a brilliant local talent community to build resilient, next-generation citizen services for Scotland’s people.”

‍

Shilpa Kaluti, Scrumconnect Director, continued: “Our mission has always been about making digital services easy and accessible for everyone, and I’m thrilled that we’re expanding our horizons towards a Scottish audience. Our growth strategy is fundamentally built on decentralisation and establishing a strong capability across all of our delivery hubs. Through this, and initiatives like the soon to be announced Scrumconnect Academy, we will enable a broad exchange of skills and innovation that will benefit our customers, while also creating sustainable career paths for talent in our host communities."

‍

David Clark, Scrumconnect Chief Marketing Officer, concludes: “Today’s announcement is a genuinely positive step forward for both Scrumconnect and Scotland. Establishing our base on Young Street is a deliberate decision that puts us in immediate proximity to major Scottish Government stakeholders at St. Andrew's House and Victoria Quay in Leith, while positioning our delivery teams directly alongside Edinburgh’s substantial corporate presence and thriving tech ecosystem. By embedding ourselves here, we look forward to building deep, meaningful partnerships that will see Scrumconnect play a key part in delivering the innovation for which Scotland has become renowned."
