Art of Cloud in Leeds has acquired fellow Salesforce specialist, Silver Softworks.
The deal doubles the turnover and headcount of the combined consultancy, which will operate under the Art of Cloud brand.
Art of Cloud’s CEO, Liz Rhodes, will lead the business, with Silver Softworks’ CEO Nick Fisher becoming Chief Operating Officer and Art of Cloud founder, Ben Stevenson as its Chief Revenue Officer.
“This feels like an incredibly exciting moment and a fantastic opportunity for us,” said Rhodes.
“We are delighted to be able to share the incredible experience and knowledge of Nick and his Silver Softworks team which will allow us to continue developing our footprint within the Salesforce eco-system and delivering excellence for a rapidly growing range of clients.
“We know our internal teams will benefit too – enjoying even more chances for career progression and development, as well as working alongside and learning from a pool of new and talented colleagues.”

Both companies have achieved Salesforce Summit Partner status independently and hope to build on this by growing across the UK and mainland Europe.
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to move ahead with a deal that brings together leaders in the ecosystem who share the same values and growth ambitions and consolidates the skills and expertise of two highly experienced and respected teams,” added Fisher.
“I’m looking forward to taking the service and delivery function of Art of Cloud to new levels, backed by our broader resource pool and solid support capabilities, fuelled by the ability to deliver even the most complex projects at scale and speed.”
