Forth Point, the Scottish data business, has been acquired by Blend360, a global provider of data, analytics, and talent solutions for Fortune 500 companies.

Specialising in data engineering, AI and ML solutions, Forth Point’s acquisition is a bid to further strengthen Blend360’s global data capability, a key step in its journey to being at the forefront of data innovation and delivery for clients.

The acquisition comes at a pivotal time for both organisations, as the Forth Point team continues to grow quickly to meet increasing demand and Blend360 looks to expand into new and existing markets in Europe.

Ozgur Dogan, President of Data Science & CX Solutions, commented on the acquisition stating, “Forth Point brings world-class talent and innovative use cases in the areas of supply chain, manufacturing and operations which helps us extend beyond our traditional footprint using Data Science and Data Engineering to optimize business performance.”

Founder and COO of Forth Point, Will Boyle, added, “The vision for Forth Point was to build a business that delivered world-class data solutions and use cases, working in partnership with our clients to have a positive impact on the world.

“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 in the Forth Point story as part of the Blend team. I am excited to get started and seize the opportunity to build a truly special team in EMEA.”
