Macclesfield-based Nexer Digital has reported that revenue surged by £6.9m during its latest financial year – up 68% on its previous 12 months.

The digital design agency, which works with the likes of AstraZeneca, Royal London and the NHS said it saw a “significant growth” in the delivery of user research, service design and related UX services in the UK public sector, including sizeable contracts with the Department for Education and Nest Pensions, with work in the sector increasing by more than 50% from last year.

It also completed projects for clients including Health Innovation Manchester, NeuroResponse and ConvaTec Group.

Nexer Digital’s headcount also increased from 55 in 2020 to 90 at the end of 2021.

The company is aiming for it to grow to more than 110 within the next 12 months.

“An uptake in demand for capability in content strategy and service design has led to an exciting influx of talent in these areas.

“Our overall design group now includes specialist teams in user research, content design, interaction design, service design and product management, and this has been one of the most noteworthy changes of the year.”
