Skipton Building Society: Case Study

A Partnership for Progress

When Skipton needed to scale their data engineering capability quickly – without compromising on culture, quality, or long-term value – they partnered with Counter. Within just a couple of sprints, our consultants were delivering real outcomes, backed by a Counter Tech Lead who helped them integrate seamlessly.

The result? Not just immediate impact, but lasting value. Our Counter consultants are now full-time data engineers at Skipton – a perfect example of our model in action: consultants who choose the client, grow with the team, and stay to build the future.

Watch the story to see how Skipton embraced a smarter, lower-risk approach to building tech teams – and why they’re now champions of the Counter way.
