Aker Systems was founded in 2016 by a team of experienced technology professionals who recognised an opportunity to provide highly secure enterprise data platforms to large organisations.
In July 2020 Aker Systems secured a significant minority investment from LDC as it targets further expansion to support the digital transformation of organisations across the UK.
LDC is backing the business’ existing management team led by CEO Darren Thomas, CFO Richard Hodsden, CCO Adam Crawford and Founder Director Adam Fawsitt. Tom Burnet will join Aker Systems as Non-Executive Chairman while Sir David Capewell will continue as a Strategic Adviser.
With our team of experts and proprietary technology, we have developed a market-leading approach to completely transform how organisations use and manage their data.”Adam Fawsitt, Founder Director

Strategic Partnership
LDC’s strategic partnership with Aker Systems will support the management team as they further invest in research and development relating to their proprietary software and services, and continue to grow the business’ team of highly experienced experts.
In 2020 Aker Systems was recognised as a One to Watch on The Sunday Times Tech Track. The business was also recognised at the Thames Valley Tech Awards 2020 taking home a hat-trick of awards including ‘Company of the year.’
The support from LDC will amplify Aker Systems’ success to date and continue our journey as the market leader in this space. We have a highly scalable model and, with LDC’s backing, we are committed to driving further investment in our team and our systems as we continue to raise the bar for our industry.”Adam Fawsitt, Founder Director
