Our story

When it comes to unlocking the full potential of cloud, data, and AI, Colibri Digital doesn’t just play the game - we change it. With over a decade of experience in the industry, we’ve helped businesses transform raw data into powerful insights, driving growth and innovation at lightning speed. If you’re looking to scale smarter and faster, we’re the team you want in your corner.

We all live in a time of endless technological opportunities, and it’s easy to get lost in the hype and short-term solutions. But with Colibri, we’ve built our business from the ground up, considering each technological advancement as it comes. We’ve created a consultancy that we’d want to work with. Comprising solid engineering, real impact, and smart people solving hard problems, we ensure any investment in your digital future is a smart one.

Just like the calculated movements of our Colibri hummingbird, we see immense value in obtaining a holistic view and working closely with our clients from conception to implementation, and beyond. We’re a team of ambitious individuals, all collaborating and moving towards one common goal – to lead the charge in business evolution.

OUR JOURNEY

We started Colibri Digital with a simple idea: to create the kind of consultancy we’d actually want to work with. One free from unnecessary complexity. Just brilliant engineers, real outcomes, and a shared passion for solving tough problems.

We jumped into the deep end, built fast, learned fast, and more companies started to notice. We’d crack one messy data problem, and suddenly we were being called in to migrate cloud environments and build unified data platforms. One project led to another, and our list of customers kept growing.

Today, we’re proud to be one of the most agile data & AI consultancies in the UK. As AWS Solutions partners, we continue to prove our expertise across cloud, data, and machine learning
