BJSS, a Leeds based IT consultancy which won a Queen's Award earlier this year, has increased its turnover by almost 40 per cent having opened new offices in the US which has driven growth there.

The company creates and supports large-scale digital transformation operations on behalf of the world's largest businesses.

For the year ending 30 April 2018, BJSS recorded a turnover of £116m, representing a 39 per cent rise from the £83.2m reported in 2016/17. Pre-tax profit was £26.5m, up from £19.5m the previous year.

Average employee numbers also increased by 35 per cent, from 573 staff in 2017 rising to 775 in 2018.

Stuart Bullock, managing director of BJSS, said: "We have had a very strong year with more successful deliveries than ever before from all areas of the business, new clients in the UK and the US, the launch of new offices in Scotland, and the expansion of our US operation to Houston.

"But it's not just our financial success that defines the underlying strength of our business. Our continued customer loyalty demonstrates our commitment to delivering high quality services.
Our clients trust us, and our understanding of technology, to deliver really exciting and cutting-edge projects while also helping to shape their roadmaps.”

In April, BJSS received a Queen's Award for innovation, achieving recognition for its ' Enterprise Agile' software delivery method. The company has supported ambitious IT transformation projects around the world, including the re-engineering of the Spine, the NHS legacy for supporting digital healthcare infrastructure.

The company, which has a workforce of 600 technologists across its northern offices in Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham, recently joined the Northern Powerhouse Partners Programme.

Stuart Bullock added: "We are confident in our positioning for the future where we're focused on 10 core market propositions that play to our key strengths and which address emerging areas where we have a strong capability. Through these propositions, we're able to develop even stronger relationships with our clients and continue to play a crucial role as their trusted advisor.

BJSS is headquartered in Leeds, with offices in London, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the US, where it operates in New York and Houston.
