We’re excited to share a major milestone in FSP’s journey. We have officially acquired Symmetry, a leading AI advisory, research and innovation organisation.

This move marks the next stage in FSP’s growth and firmly establishes us as a research powered AI consultancy, with a complete end to end capability for clients operating in regulated and high trust sectors. By combining Symmetry’s independent research and strategic insight with FSP’s enterprise scale delivery, we now offer a truly integrated and differentiated AI proposition.

Advisory Led. Research Informed. Built for Enterprise.

With Symmetry now part of FSP, we are already delivering a distinctive approach to AI that brings together:

• Strategic advisory – Helping organisations shape clear, actionable AI strategies aligned with their business and regulatory environments
• Independent research – Delivered through our new research subsidiary, Symmetry Insights, providing diagnostics, foresight and maturity models to guide AI investment and delivery
• Enterprise grade delivery – Building secure, scalable, and compliant AI systems, fully integrated with change and transformation programmes

Clients now benefit from one partner with the capability to support the entire AI journey, from strategic vision through to operational execution.

Our approach helps organisations think big, start small, and scale fast with confidence and clarity.

Key Appointments

To lead this next chapter, we are pleased to announce two senior appointments:

• Dr Chris Brauer, appointed Chief AI Officer, is driving the strategic direction of our AI services and innovation agenda
• Dr Jennifer Barth, appointed Director of Research, leads Symmetry Insights, developing the research frameworks and tools that underpin our advisory and delivery work.

Whether supporting the development of a long term AI strategy or building operational systems that scale securely and responsibly, FSP now offers a single, expert team to deliver at every stage.
