Parallax celebrates ‘defining year’ of growth

A Leeds-based technology consultancy is scaling rapidly after a standout year marked by international expansion, new sector wins and rising demand for AI expertise.

Parallax has reported its strongest year to date, securing 25 new clients and forecasting its biggest ever financial performance heading into 2026. 

International growth has been a key driver, with a third of revenue generated from overseas clients, including two Norwegian unicorn businesses, one of which is industrial software specialist Cognite.

The year also saw Parallax expand into several high-growth markets, including fintech and investment, environmental technology, gaming and industrial AI. 

AI-led projects now account for 36 per cent of total revenue, reflecting growing appetite for advanced data-driven solutions and the firm’s capability to deliver complex applications at scale.

To support rising demand, Parallax has continued to invest in its team, hiring four new starters in the past week alone and recruiting for further roles. 

Growth has been matched by industry recognition, with the consultancy recently named Webflow Agency of the Year and winning the Lloyds Banking Group hackathon during Leeds Digital Festival.

Dario Grandich, co-founder at Parallax, said: “This has been a defining year for Parallax. 

“Organisations everywhere are searching for faster, smarter and more cost-efficient ways to innovate and that plays directly to our strengths. 

“While many consultancies take months to reach a working prototype, we can demonstrate meaningful progress in a single day.

“We’ve delivered an exceptional range of projects this year from software powering a smart ‘grow-your-own-salad’ farm, to applying AI for predictive insights in environmental management and sports trading.”

He added: “We head into 2026 in our strongest position yet, with a substantial pipeline already secured.

“We are now hiring across multiple roles to build on this momentum. 

“If you’re a software engineer, designer or technologist who wants to be part of something genuinely exciting, we’d love to hear from you.”
