CreateFuture has entered a strategic tech partnership with Skyscanner.
The collaboration will involve teams from CreateFuture's Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, and Barcelona offices.
The partnership will focus on improving audience experience, app experience, and data and AI tooling.
CreateFuture was selected after a competitive, multi-stage process against other national and international consultancies.
This partnership expands CreateFuture's client list, which includes major brands like PayPal, adidas, and NatWest.
The collaboration strengthens CreateFuture's position in the Scottish technology ecosystem.
Skyscanner's decision to partner with CreateFuture came after a multi-stage selection process that evaluated a national and international pool of consultancies. CreateFuture was chosen for its strong engineering expertise, cultural alignment, and a proven track record of successful project delivery. This partnership highlights the company's ability to compete with global firms and its growing reputation as a leader in digital transformation.
Euan Andrews, CEO and Founder of CreateFuture, said: “Skyscanner began life here in Scotland, and is now the leading global travel app that scans over 80 billion prices daily. We are excited to be working with their world-class engineering team to accelerate, grow, and contribute to their future success.”
Andrew Phillips, Chief Technology Officer at Skyscanner, said: “CreateFuture’s proven capabilities, culture match, and overall collaborative approach made them the ideal choice for us, and we fully expect their team to be instrumental in helping us to achieve our engineering goals.”
This partnership is particularly significant for the Scottish technology sector. Euan Andrews noted the importance of working with both of Scotland’s tech unicorns, Skyscanner and FanDuel, which he believes reflects the ongoing evolution of the country’s technology ecosystem. This strategic win not only solidifies CreateFuture’s leadership in digital transformation within Scotland but also sets the stage for further expansion across the UK and internationally.

The company provides a range of services, including CX strategy, product innovation, AI enablement, and cloud and infrastructure, making it a comprehensive partner for businesses seeking digital transformation.
