Elixirr

We’ve completed the first round of our assessment centres in New York and Dallas, as we continue to build the next generation of talent at Elixirr. We’re looking for people who want to take ownership early and see the impact of their work, not simply contribute from the sidelines. We look forward to meeting more candidates as our assessment centres continue.

What if the biggest opportunity from AI isn’t saving time? Most AI business cases start with productivity: automate tasks, save hours, reduce effort. But making existing work faster doesn’t automatically improve commercial performance. The bigger opportunity is using AI to make valuable work possible at a scale that wasn’t practical before. Explore why productivity is only the starting point, where to look for higher-value AI opportunities and how to turn them into meaningful commercial outcomes: https://lnkd.in/eCryYCnH

Strategy only matters if you can act on it. That means creating more than a playbook. It means clear priorities, KPIs and actions, with leadership aligned on where to focus time and resources. Ownership and execution turn growth strategy into measurable performance. See how we build growth strategies designed to be owned and executed: https://lnkd.in/e7bSyD95 Cyrus Patel

We are pleased to announce a record H1, with revenue up 25% to £89.0m and adjusted EBITDA up 29% to £27.6m. In the first six months of 2026, we delivered more revenue and adjusted EBITDA than across the whole of FY 23. AI-related revenue increased 185% to £8.1m as clients increasingly turn to Elixirr to move beyond experimentation and deliver commercial outcomes from AI. We also continue to deepen our client relationships. Cross-sell revenue increased 27% to £19m, taking cross-sell revenue since IPO to more than £100m across the Group. These results reflect the strength of our model – deeper client relationships, integrated capabilities and disciplined, profitable growth. Thank you to our clients, investors and global team for their continued support. Read our H1 26 results: https://lnkd.in/eanxgBNn

Our Elixirr Digital AI team recently joined students at the University of Cape Town to share what working in AI looks like in practice. From the trends shaping the industry to how we turn AI into real-world outcomes, the session gave students a closer look at the work, skills and opportunities defining careers in the field. It was great to meet the next generation of talent and hear how they’re thinking about the role they could play in what comes next.

Technology alone doesn’t drive execution. People do. The difference is how people take ownership, make decisions and turn the tools available to them into performance. Execution Edge brings the human and technological sides of execution together to deliver measurable results. Discover our newest core capability: https://lnkd.in/eaM9Zvns Shideh Sedgh Bina

Access to AI is becoming commonplace. Turning it into measurable value is not. Google’s advertising platform shows why. The technology may execute at extraordinary speed and scale, but its performance depends on what comes first: clear objectives, structured data and strong foundations. As AI becomes more widely available, these fundamentals will increasingly separate those deploying AI from those generating real value from it.

We were thrilled to be in Baltimore for a landmark weekend and the final Test of the Greatest Rivalry. With strong South African roots across Elixirr, this was always going to be a significant weekend for many of us. With people travelling from around the world, it was a reminder of the value of coming together, wherever that may be. Across a packed programme of dinners, panels and Q&As, the weekend culminated in the largest rugby event ever held in the US. For us, it was a chance to spend time with clients, colleagues and friends from across our international network and be part of a milestone moment for the sport in the US.

When engineering challenges start affecting customer experience, fixing the technology is only part of the answer. For a private equity-backed software business, we stabilised engineering delivery, automated 6,000+ test cases and deployed three AI engineering agents to improve productivity, quality and performance visibility.
