ARCU becomes holding company for Build Circle and Arrows

Technology brands under a new holding company

ARCU has become the new holding company for Build Circle and Arrows, bringing technology consulting, enterprise AI adoption and specialist recruitment under one group.

ARCU has been announced as the new holding company for UK technology brands Build Circle and Arrows.

The move follows the sale of Major Players from the Majar Group earlier this month. Led by chief executive James Parsons, ARCU will acquire the remaining group shareholding and replace Majar Group as majority shareholder in both businesses.

Build Circle works with CTOs on strategic support and engineering delivery, with a focus on regulated markets. Arrows will continue to focus on hybrid workforces and agentic strategies for organisations navigating technology change.

“Both Arrows and Build Circle are growing very quickly and operate very much in the frontier technology sector.”
James Parsons, Group CEO, ARCU

Parsons said the companies provide parallel services to a similar and often shared customer base, and that the move follows ARCU’s recent appointment as an Anthropic Partner.

“In such a fast-paced environment of technological change, providing hyper-focused expertise is critically important across the entire business sector,” he said. “We’re here to deliver exactly that.”

The group said its brands will operate where human experience meets intelligent technology, with Build Circle focused on engineering and AI realisation, while Arrows supports recruitment across AI, machine learning and data.
