Therion Becomes Strategic Digital Partner to SST Group

15 Sept 2025

We’re delighted to share that Therion has been appointed strategic digital partner to SST Group as part of a newly signed three-year agreement. This marks a major step forward for both companies in shaping a modern, resilient, and high-performing digital future. 

As a Newcastle-based digital consultancy focused on industrial SMEs, our mission has always been to unlock value through technology - value that is strategic, measurable, and human-centric. That’s exactly what this partnership with SST is built on. 

Why This Matters

SST Group is a forward-thinking engineering and manufacturing group, known for its commitment to innovation and operational excellence. Over the coming three years, Therion will work alongside SST to: 

  • Provide strategic digital advisory, acting as a fractional CTO for the business 

  • Transition the business to Therion OS, our next-gen platform designed to reduce complexity and drive efficiency 

  • Manage IT services and third-party suppliers, creating seamless digital operations 

  • Deliver high-impact transformation projects, from ERP and data to HR systems and compliance 

The focus is on enabling SST’s people, streamlining operations, and aligning digital investment to long-term business goals.

Welcoming New Talent

To support this ambitious programme, we’re proud to announce two exceptional new hires: 

  • Richard Larder has come aboard as our new Chief Product Officer, bringing decades of experience in product strategy and digital transformation 

  • Lewis Foulger joins us as a Specialist Digital Engineer, with deep technical insight and delivery experience across SST’s systems. 

Their combined knowledge and continuity will be instrumental in helping us deliver impact from day one.

A Shared Vision

Richard Bradley, Chief Executive of SST Group, put it best: 

This partnership ensures that our digital capability keeps pace with the ambition of our business. Therion brings strategic insight, technical depth and a delivery mindset that aligns with where we’re heading as an organisation.” 

We're excited and honoured to play a part in this next phase for SST.
