FinTech North and Enablis Join Forces to Champion Applied AI Across the Northern FinTech Community
We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Enablis, the Leeds-headquartered AI-native technology consultancy.
Enablis works with organisations to move artificial intelligence beyond experimentation and into everyday, production-ready use, embedding consultants directly alongside client teams to design, build and scale technology solutions. Its work spans financial services, transport and logistics, private equity-backed technology companies and the public sector, with clients including Monzo, Engine by Starling, TransUnion, P&O Ferries, StepChange and PokerStars.
The business has grown rapidly in recent years, rebranding from Fruition Consulting to Enablis in 2024 to reflect its evolution into an AI-first consultancy. Headquartered in Leeds, Enablis recently opened a second UK office in London to meet growing demand from organisations looking to put AI into production.
Enablis’s roots in Leeds make them a natural fit for our community, and their focus on applying AI in real, regulated environments speaks directly to one of the conversations we hear most often across our events right now: how financial services organisations move from AI pilots to genuine, governed impact. With a track record of working alongside financial services clients, Enablis brings a perspective that feels well matched to where the Northern FinTech ecosystem is heading.
As part of the partnership, we’ll bring together a dedicated Enablis-led roundtable, project managed by our team, creating space for a focused conversation among senior leaders on the practicalities of applying AI in financial services. Enablis will also feature as speakers across our events throughout the year, and will be represented at further FinTech North events as we continue to build out the partnership. Alongside this, we’ll be sharing Enablis’s news and thought leadership with our community.
We’re looking forward to seeing this partnership take shape and to the conversations Enablis will help bring to our community over the year ahead.
Joe Roche, General Manager, FinTech North:
“AI is the conversation everyone in our community wants to have right now, and Enablis brings genuine, practical experience of putting it to work responsibly. Having a partner rooted here in Leeds who understands both the technology and the sector makes this feel like a genuinely natural fit. We’re looking forward to the conversations this partnership will bring to our community.”
Matt Feeney, Chief AI Officer at Enablis:
“We’re pleased to be partnering with FinTech North. Nearly every financial services team we talk to is working through AI governance right now, and in a regulated environment it’s hard to get right. The useful conversations happen in the detail, which is what our roundtable is focused on: how teams are actually doing it day to day, not just the theory. We’re looking forward to getting into that with the FinTech North community over the year ahead.”
