H1 26 Interim Results
H1 26 saw Elixirr deliver strong, profitable growth, with revenue increasing 25% to £89.0m and adjusted EBITDA increasing 29% to £27.6m. We continued to deepen relationships with our largest clients and broaden the capabilities we deliver, with cross-sell revenue increasing 27% to £19m. AI-related revenue increased 185% to £8.1m as clients increasingly look to move beyond experimentation and embed AI to deliver measurable commercial value. This performance reflects the strength of our integrated model, disciplined approach to growth and continued focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for our clients.
Board of Directors
Founder & CEO
Stephen Newton
Stephen founded Elixirr in 2009 with one very clear vision – to build the best consulting firm in the world. After extensive years working in industry, he became fixed on making real change happen in businesses – having experienced first-hand the stagnated approach many large corporate firms took to innovation.
