Avanade to Acquire Robiquity, Bringing AI-First Automation to More UK Businesses at Speed and Scale

We’re excited to announce that Avanade has agreed to acquire Robiquity.

The deal, announced Tuesday 10th November 2026, will bring together Robiquity’s expertise in AI-first business solutions, intelligent automation and low-code development with Avanade’s global scale, industry expertise and deep Microsoft capabilities.

The announcement represents a significant milestone in Robiquity’s 10-year journey. Since being founded in Manchester in 2016, we have grown significantly, expanded our capabilities and evolved alongside the technologies we work with. From our foundations in robotic process automation (RPA) to today’s focus on Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot, Azure and agentic AI, that evolution has always been driven by one thing: helping our clients drive measurable business outcomes.

Our growth has been supported by Growth Capital Partners (GCP), whose investment and backing have helped Robiquity accelerate its growth and ambitions.

Becoming part of Avanade creates the opportunity to take the next step, bringing Robiquity’s expertise to more clients and markets while giving our people and clients access to a much broader global network of Microsoft, AI and industry expertise.

Expanding Our Microsoft Expertise

Avanade is the world’s leading Microsoft expert, helping more than 7,000 organisations modernise securely and scale AI using Microsoft technology, faster. Founded by Microsoft and Accenture, and operating as Microsoft’s Client Zero, Avanade brings deep expertise and proven delivery to simplify complexity, accelerate innovation, and deliver measurable results.

Together with Accenture, Avanade combines global scale with expertise across AI, cloud, data, cybersecurity and ERP. It has 60,000 Microsoft professionals worldwide, 165,000 certifications and the largest community of Microsoft MVPs.

For Robiquity, joining Avanade will provide access to that global reach, industry expertise and wider Microsoft ecosystem, while bringing additional Robiquity capability in agentic AI, low-code development and automation delivery to Avanade.

It also creates an opportunity to build on the strong Microsoft partnership that has been central to Robiquity’s growth and to help more organisations move from AI ambition to real-world impact at greater speed and scale.

Our Clients and People

For our clients, the combination creates the opportunity to access a broader range of expertise, resources and capabilities while continuing to build on the approach, relationships and focus on outcomes that have shaped Robiquity.

For our people, it opens up the opportunity to become part of a global organisation with extensive Microsoft expertise, new markets and an even broader range of opportunities to develop, learn and deliver impact.

Tom Davies, CEO of Robiquity, said: “Joining Avanade is a natural next step for our business, creating exciting opportunities for our clients and our people. We believe Microsoft’s technology has enormous potential to help businesses transform in an increasingly AI-enabled world. Becoming part of Avanade will allow us to bring our expertise to more clients and markets, while building on the culture and approach that have shaped Robiquity.”

Chris Howarth, CEO of Avanade, said: “Robiquity has built something special, a team with deep Microsoft expertise, a genuine commitment to client outcomes and a culture of continuous learning that aligns closely with our own. That combination of technical excellence and people-first values is exactly what our clients need as they look to move from AI ambition to real, lasting impact. We’re excited to welcome the Robiquity team to Avanade and to see what we can achieve together.”

The Next Chapter

This year marks 10 years of Robiquity. From our beginnings in Manchester to working with some of the UK’s leading organisations, our journey has been shaped by our people, our clients, our partners and constantly evolving cutting-edge technology. This announcement marks the beginning of an exciting next chapter.

Completion of the acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions. Until then, it remains business as usual for Robiquity, with our teams continuing to focus on delivering for our clients and partners.
