About Cobry
What is Cobry?
Cobry is a Glasgow-headquartered Google Cloud consultancy founded in 2013 by Colin Bryce — "the #1 Google Workspace and Google Cloud partner" by their own positioning. The team helps organisations migrate to and get the most out of Google Workspace, Looker (data analytics) and Gemini (AI), with structured "Mission Plan" frameworks for both Workspace Migration and Looker Deployment. The about page frames the difference from larger Google consultancies plainly: "We're not an army of faceless consultants. We're a tight-knit team that's deeply invested in your success. For us, it's personal."
Colin Bryce's founding manifesto, published verbatim on the live /about page, sets the tone: "in 2008, I knew tech was good enough that broken printers, spam, or spreadsheet lockouts shouldn't be your problem. It's not just about bad phone calls – it's about not needing to call at all." Cobry's public promise — Straight Talk, Real Expertise, Wholehearted Support — is the company's short-form pitch to clients.
Where will I work?
Cobry maintains offices in Glasgow ("24 Sandyford Place, Glasgow, Scotland, UK, G3 7NG") and London ("167/169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, W1W 5PF") with a remote-friendly culture across the UK and Europe. The about page also describes a Toronto, Canada team supporting North America, and trusted partners covering "many global timezones" when extended coverage is needed. The careers page (now accessible via the Wayback snapshot of January 2025) confirms the policy: "Flexible working location."
What is the Cobry team like?
The culture is described on /about as "a close-knit, vibrant team, working together in seamless collaboration" — and the team operates more like senior consultants than a traditional Google reseller. Cobry positions itself in fast execution: "While others get caught in long decision chains and internal handovers, we stay focused and move fast. Our approach is streamlined, practical and designed to deliver results in weeks, not months." Founder Colin Bryce is named on the about page; specific named team members on the live site include only senior leadership at the moment because the public team grid has been retired in the 2026 redesign.
Work-Life Balance
The most recent verbatim careers page (via Wayback Jan 18 2025) confirms the four-day-week structure: "Four-day work week (following a successful 6-month onboarding). Choose your own working pattern (e.g. 2 half days off, Fridays off, etc)." The DB record correctly captures the onboarding-runway nuance ("32hr 4 day work week (following successful 3-month onboarding) with Friday off") — the actual Wayback wording specifies a six-month onboarding before the policy kicks in, after which employees can choose their own pattern (Friday off, two half-days off, etc.). Alongside this Cobry offers flexible working hours, a 60-minute break time and 24 days holiday including bank holidays (with bank holidays floating so they can be reallocated).
