Black Opal is an enterprise technology partner building reliable, scalable software for organisations that demand more from their technology.
Black Opal is an enterprise technology partner. We design, build, and operate software, cloud infrastructure, and security frameworks for organisations that need reliable technology at scale — not off-the-shelf products, but solutions engineered to their specific environment.
We work with mid-market and enterprise organisations across sectors including finance, logistics, and professional services. Our clients typically have complex operational environments where robustness, security, and long-term maintainability are non-negotiable.
We stay in the work. Rather than delivering a report and stepping away, our team embeds alongside yours — taking ownership of outcomes, not just recommendations. Every engagement is led by a director with hands-on technical accountability.
We are headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and work with clients in various government and private organisations across the UK. Our team operates remotely-first, with on-site presence wherever the engagement demands it.
The leadership team behind Black Opal — driving strategy, delivery, and culture across every engagement.

Outside of work he's usually training for his next run, out on the bike, or deep into whatever game has his attention this week.
