by Charlie Spargo Leeds-based design and delivery consultancy Hippo Digital has secured investment from private equity firm Growth Capital Partners (GCP), and revealed plans to grow its team from 200 to 400 in the next three years. Hippo Digital was launched in 2016 and supports private and public sector organisations with digital leaders, service design teams and delivery expertise to enable large-scale digital transformation. At the end of 2019 Hippo acquired data analytics provider Converging Data, a move which has helped its growth. It has won investment from GCP, which partners with rapidly growing SMEs, to help it create more technical roles in its current locations of Leeds and Coventry, as well as look at expansion into cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle and London.
