AND Digital

Digital product and engineering consultancy with a Leeds club

AND Digital logo
AND Digital is a digital product and engineering consultancy operating across the UK, Netherlands and the USA. They work with clients through a model they call Guide, Build, Equip — helping organisations define strategy, build software and data products, and develop their own internal capabilities. Around 1,600 people work across 25 autonomous "Clubs", each of roughly 90 specialists, including one based in Leeds.

What they do

AND Digital builds digital products and platforms for clients ranging from large multinationals to smaller scale-ups. Their stated purpose is closing what they call the world's Digital Skills Gap — the idea that most businesses now run on software and data, but many lack the internal capability to deliver it well.

Their core model has three parts. Guide covers strategy and problem definition: AND's consultants work with a client to identify what needs building and why, before any code is written. Build is the delivery phase — blended teams of software engineers, experience designers, platform architects and product managers work alongside client staff in Agile sprints to ship apps, APIs, websites, cloud infrastructure and data platforms. Equip is the capability-building strand: coaching, upskilling and a tailored development plan designed to leave the client's own team in better shape than when the engagement started.

The service lines named on their site include software engineering, AI and tooling, mobile app development (native and hybrid), experience design, cloud strategy and migration, data products, consulting and product strategy. They also work with the public sector.

Clients named in their case studies include British Airways, Lookers, Google Digital Garage, Target Group and Shawbrook Bank. Work spans increased online bookings, digital skills programmes and transforming home-buying experiences — concrete delivery outcomes rather than advisory reports.

The company operates through what they call Clubs: focused business units of around 90 people, designed to give clients the attention of a small firm while drawing on the wider resource of a 1,600-person organisation. They describe this as "best of small, clout of large". There are 25 Clubs across the UK, Netherlands and the USA, with Leeds among the UK locations.

What sets them apart

Most consultancies either deliver a project and leave, or run a training programme separately. AND Digital's pitch is that these happen simultaneously. The Equip strand is built into every engagement rather than sold as an add-on: as engineers build, they coach the client's people alongside them, with progress reviewed quarterly against a bespoke plan.

Their Club structure is also deliberate. Rather than a single large delivery centre, each Club operates as an autonomous unit with its own identity and client relationships. The intention is that clients deal with a consistent, nearby team rather than being handed between account managers and offshore delivery pools.

Onboarding is quoted at one to two weeks — faster than typical consultancy mobilisation — which they attribute to the Club model's pre-built Agile practices and the ability to assemble a team quickly from within a Club's existing bench.

Their values — "We Wonder, We Share, We Delight" — are used internally to describe expected behaviour. Staff are called ANDis. Senior leaders are referred to as Pioneers. The company gives ANDis paid days to volunteer and fundraise in local communities, which they frame as part of their Digital Skills Gap mission beyond client work.

AND Digital has worked across a range of industries: financial services (Shawbrook Bank), automotive retail (Lookers), aviation (British Airways) and property (Target Group). That breadth is part of the pitch to clients who want engineers with cross-sector pattern recognition rather than narrow domain specialists.
