Beeks Financial Cloud Group (LSE: BKS) has signed a five-year Proximity Cloud contract worth £2.1 million with a large foreign exchange broker, extending the client’s use of the company’s trading infrastructure across multiple locations.
The broker has been using Beeks’ Private Cloud platform since September 2025 and is now upgrading to Proximity Cloud. Beeks describes Proximity Cloud as a high-performance, dedicated and client-owned trading environment tailored specifically to financial markets.
Revenue recognition from the new contract is expected to begin in the current financial year ending June 2026, with Beeks stating that the agreement will start contributing to recognised revenue in the second half of the 2026 financial year.
The deal continues a strategy Beeks has repeatedly employed: converting existing Private Cloud clients into higher-value Proximity Cloud engagements. The newly signed contract represents an upgrade for the foreign exchange broker, expanding its deployment of Beeks’ infrastructure beyond the initial Private Cloud arrangement.
In July 2025, Beeks announced approximately $10 million in Proximity Cloud contracts spanning brokerage and fintech firms across the UAE and Europe, underlining the company’s focus on scaling its Proximity Cloud offering among financial institutions.
The contract announcement comes as Beeks navigates a challenging period in its income statement. For the six months ended 31 December 2025, the company reported a 7% decline in first-half revenue to £14.7 million and swung to a statutory pre-tax loss.
Chief Executive Gordon McArthur said the new agreement “highlights both the strength of our offering and the significant expansion potential across our growing customer base of major financial institutions.” The latest win is positioned by the company as evidence of ongoing demand for its higher-value Proximity Cloud solutions despite recent financial pressures.
Beeks was founded in 2011 and floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2017. The company is headquartered in Renfrew, Scotland, and employs more than 100 staff globally. Its core offerings include cloud-based infrastructure and trading environments designed for financial markets participants.
