Acquisition sees art of cloud doubling in size and announcing ambitious plans for future growth
Salesforce Summit Partners Art of Cloud have acquired Silver Softworks and in turn, become a significantly expanded and vastly experienced Salesforce consultancy.
Operating together from October 2026 under the Art of Cloud brand means their turnover and headcount both double, laying the foundations for a period of ambitious growth and market expansion.
Art of Cloud CEO, Liz Rhodes will continue to lead the newly combined business, working alongside Silver Softworks’ Founder Nick Fisher as Chief Operating Officer, with Art of Cloud Founder, Ben Stevenson as Chief Revenue Officer.
Both companies come with a strong reputation for delivering innovation and excellence, and have achieved Salesforce Summit Partner status independently – the highest level of accreditation in the software provider’s eco-system.
The combined business seeks to build on this further, creating a rare level of scale and resource, skills and experience, as well as geographical presence, with expert team members based across the UK, and mainland Europe. Art of Cloud is looking to become the trusted partner to an even larger cohort of businesses as it continues to pursue strategic, long-term growth.
This acquisition made sense, as not only do both companies share strong values around being ‘trusted’ ‘experts’, but the teams have already worked closely together before – pooling expertise to collaborate on a series of complex Salesforce projects, designing and building intelligent eco-systems for a range of clients.
Now they’ll formalise that relationship to offer an expanded range of skills and services.
Silver Softworks’ extensive experience working with fast growing non-profit and financial businesses will combine with Art of Cloud’s impressive reputation for tackling highly complex design and implementation projects, and cross-cloud integrations to create a genuinely full spectrum proposition.
Speaking about the acquisition, Art of Cloud CEO, Liz Rhodes said they were “thrilled about the prospect of delivering even more great services, growth and expansion”, via their newly consolidated team.
She says: “This feels like an incredibly exciting moment and a fantastic opportunity for us.”
“We are delighted to be able to share the incredible experience and knowledge of Nick and his Silver Softworks team which will allow us to continue developing our footprint within the Salesforce eco-system and delivering excellence for a rapidly growing range of clients.”
“We know our internal teams will benefit too – enjoying even more chances for career progression and development, as well as working alongside and learning from a pool of new and talented colleagues.”
Nick Fisher says: “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to move ahead with a deal that brings together leaders in the ecosystem who share the same values and growth ambitions and consolidates the skills and expertise of two highly experienced and respected teams.
“I’m looking forward to taking the service and delivery function of Art of Cloud to new levels, backed by our broader resource pool and solid support capabilities, fuelled by the ability to deliver even the most complex projects at scale and speed.”
