Who we are

Two founders who know what it takes.

Snick was founded by Nick Parry and Steve Littlefair, two people who have built businesses and know what it takes.

Co-founder

Nick Parry

Nick has spent 20 years helping technology companies sell more and grow faster. For 18 years from 2006 he was sole shareholder and chief executive of Branch Network Limited, working with hundreds of tech businesses, from some of the biggest in the world, including IBM, Fiserv, Nice, Tibco, Tableau, Informatica and Software AG, to smaller companies that went on to significant growth and exit.

For 13 years, from 2006 to 2019, he was integral to sales growth at Xceptor, which was sold to Astorg in 2021 for $605 million. He was also a shareholder in Biocensus from 2009 through its growth and sale to RSK Engineering in 2019.

At Snick, Nick leads on strategy, sales, investment and getting businesses ready to sell. He is also the founder of three30, a health brand inspired by his own health challenges and how he overcame them.

Co-founder

Steve Littlefair

Steve brings 25 years of building software for some of the UK's best-known organisations. At the BBC he leads the team responsible for the security and governance of its entire Amazon Web Services estate, over 1,100 accounts.

Before that he founded the UK arm of a European IT consultancy and built it from zero staff to a profitable business of around €1 million. Earlier roles include architect for Bentley Motors' digital workplace, serving around 6,500 users, and Moneysupermarket.

He is the founder and CEO of Tastic Group, a product studio that builds AI-powered software entirely in-house. At Snick he leads on tech, AI and building products without burning cash.

The name

Seven cuts. One key.

A key works because every cut is the right depth. Snick works the same way: seven areas of support, each cut to what the business needs at its stage. When they line up, the lock turns. That click is the name.

snick/snɪk/ · noun
  1. A small, precise cut or notch.
  2. The sharp click of a latch falling into place.
Start · Grow · Exit

One partner. Every stage.
