On Thursday night, the ClearCourse team are heading to Tobacco Dock for the Business Leader Scale-Up Awards<\/a> evening, honouring the dynamic scale-up businesses fuelling the UK economy. As a team, we\u2019ll be there to celebrate ClearCourse as a finalist in two categories \u2013 Technology Scale-Up and Overall Scale-Up Business.<\/p>\n

Over the course of our own journey, we\u2019ve found that a core part of being a scale-up is ambition. ClearCourse was launched to be a diverse and innovative group that approached software development differently. We\u2019re now a four-year-old business on target to have 1000 people employed next year \u2013 just one example of the aspirations and achievements that we can expect to see highlighted at this year\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\n

But while we\u2019re focused on advancing our own growth, it\u2019s important not to overlook the vital wider ecosystem in which we operate. When we talk about boosting the economy and supporting local communities, people are rightly inclined to mention start-ups as a driving force for investment and innovation. Less discussed is the integral role of scale-up businesses \u2013 those who have been through their first rounds of funding, who see a high rate of growth and have built the strong foundation of expertise and support required to scale even further.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the technology sector and beyond, scale-ups are a lynchpin to the collective process of growth itself. How so? They attract investment, having built the capability to mitigate early risks and promise more stable returns. They create new jobs and lean into untapped pools of talent, striving to build an integrated and focused workforce from the small and mighty teams we see at businesses just starting out. And finally, they encourage new thinking and innovation, with the interest and material capacity to truly invest in the potential of their partners and the people within their teams. The time and commitment that go into scaling a business cannot be underestimated. It\u2019s certainly not for the faint of heart, but it can also be incredibly rewarding \u2013 and its ripple effect is huge.<\/p>\n

At ClearCourse, our \u2018Working Better Together\u2019 philosophy echoes our approach to growth as a group. Scaling up doesn\u2019t just describe our development as a collective, but it applies to the integrated back-office infrastructure we provide for our product teams, and the collaborative way that we develop our payments service alongside growing businesses.<\/p>\n

To be recognised as one of the organisations helping to drive this vital part of the UK business world is a huge accolade, and we\u2019re looking forward to celebrating the success and achievements of every business in the scale-up community on Thursday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
