Why Leeds firms work with Forth

Leeds hosts First Direct, Lloyds, Yorkshire Building Society and a thick layer of fintech and govtech. We're a small, senior team that ships production-grade software and assurance — not a body-shop consultancy.

What we do for Leeds clients

Bespoke software, independent system testing (UAT, SIT, regression, payments, Open Banking), integration work, legacy modernisation, AI integration and platform engineering — delivered to Leeds-based teams onsite where required.

Industries we serve in Leeds

Banks, payment institutions, fintechs, insurers, asset managers, energy and utilities, transport, councils, NHS boards and industrial operators.

How we engage

Fixed-scope discovery, a 30-day pilot against a real workload, and a continuation engagement with named UK-based engineers. Onsite in Leeds when the work demands it; remote-first otherwise.
