Having founded Cloud Technology Solutions in 2012, James Doggart departed the Google partner in January 2023 as it swapped private equity horses. Slightly dusty accounts for CTS' year to 31 March 2021 show revenues hiking 23 per cent to £49.2m as the appetite for migrating to the cloud showed no sign of waning. New backer Marlin Equity Partners (which replaces NorthEdge as majority owner) will help it expand in Europe, Manchester-based CTS said.
