Technology consultancy Izertis has acquired London-based Assured Thought, which specialises in quality engineering, quality control and software testing consulting services, both companies confirmed.
Financial details for the takeover of the British firm, which is primarily focused on the financial services sector, were not disclosed.
Spain-based Izertis, which currently employs around 2,000 people in five markets, has been on somewhat of a shopping spree in the last twelve months.
It is the firm’s second major acquisition in the UK after buying Projecting, another software company that primarily services the banking space and financial services sector.
Moreover, it Izertis’ third takeover in Europe in barely six months, after it bought Switzerland-based Digiswit in September 2024.
“With this addition, Izertis maintains its pace of international expansion and its presence in markets with significant growth, with 16 offices across Europe and America, and projects in more than 25 countries,” commented the current chief executive officer of Izertis, Pablo Martín.
Last year, Izertis rolled out an ambitious roadmap called ‘Strategic Plan 2027’ which should help the company to hit €250 million in revenues and €33 million in operating profits by the end of 2027.
Assured Thought
Madrid-based Martín stressed that the addition of Assured Thought will help the Spanish technology consultancy to meet its ambitious targets and aid to its international expansion, with a larger focus on international clients.
“The United Kingdom is one of the world’s largest markets for technology consulting services. Assured Thought will therefore strengthen our presence in that country and in Europe, providing relevant clients in leading strategic sectors such as finance, which will allow us to boost our international turnover,” Martin explained.

Meanwhile, the CEO and founder of Assured Thought, Daniel Dore, explained why his management team agreed to be taken over.
“This integration represents an opportunity to expand our impact, improve our service offering and continue to provide our high quality standards,” he said.
Launched in 2016, Assured Thought is mostly serving clients in the financial services sector, particularly in wealth and asset management, investment management and private banking, as well as a number of technology providers and financial services platforms.
Last year, the London-based company booked revenues of €4.7 million, with year-on-year growth of 44%.
Journey so far
The Assured Thought acquisition fits into Izertis ‘Strategic Plan 2027’, although the firm did not indicate whether more acquisitions should be expected in the near future.
Martin did say, however, that “it is really amazing how fast time has gone by and what has happened in that time, how our company, Izertis, has transformed and how the society around us has transformed”.
He stressed that, since the firm’s launch five years ago, “incredible things have happened: a pandemic, a war in Europe, a big crisis in the supply chain, a geopolitical situation that remains unstable. In short, we have had to deal with somewhat of a ‘funny’ situation in these five years.”
Martin added that “during the last five years the company has changed completely. Being in the market was to provide a set of tools in our growth process to make it faster, stronger and better. A hypothesis that we have been able to validate. Our high expectations have been exceeded,” he insisted.
