Digital transformation specialist Agilyx Group has launched a new UK consultancy in partnership with European technology firm Next Consult, marking the latest business expansion to emerge from Birmingham City University’s STEAMhouse innovation centre.
Agilyx, a long-standing tenant and partner at STEAMhouse, has joined forces with Next Consult to establish Next Consult UK, combining the two companies’ expertise in digital transformation, Salesforce and artificial intelligence.
Headquartered in Birmingham, Agilyx helps organisations modernise business operations through enterprise software, cloud platforms and digital transformation projects. The company specialises in enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), human capital management (HCM) and professional services automation, working with public and private sector organisations across the UK and internationally.
Next Consult UK will support organisations in sectors including local government, financial services, retail and professional services, delivering digital transformation programmes and Salesforce implementations.
Agilyx has been based at STEAMhouse for several years, with Birmingham City University describing the company’s expansion as an example of the innovation centre’s role in supporting business growth and collaboration.
Professor Hanifa Shah OBE, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, Enterprise, Engagement & STEAM at Birmingham City University, said: “STEAMhouse was created to help ambitious businesses innovate faster, access world-class expertise and build the partnerships that enable long-term growth.
“Agilyx’s success is exactly the kind of journey we want to enable. Their expansion through the launch of Next Consult UK demonstrates how collaboration between industry and universities can create new opportunities, strengthen the regional economy and position the West Midlands as a leader in digital innovation and business transformation.
“We’re proud to have supported Agilyx as it has grown, and we look forward to continuing that partnership as the business enters this exciting new chapter.”
Harpal Mattu, Managing Director of The Agilyx Group and co-CEO of Next Consult UK, added: “Being part of the STEAMhouse community has given us opportunities to collaborate, innovate and grow alongside like-minded businesses and University experts.
“It has been an environment that supports ambition, and we’re proud to be taking that next step from Birmingham onto an international stage.”
Orlin Dochev, CEO of Next Consult Bulgaria and co-CEO of Next Consult UK, said: “Many organisations have trusted Next Consult to help them change the way they work – not just implement technology. We are bringing that same commitment to the UK, and this partnership with Agilyx gives us exactly the right foundation to do it.”
Earlier this year, Agilyx was named Unit4 ERPx Implementation Partner of the Year 2025, recognising its work delivering enterprise software and digital transformation projects.
