It\u2019s true what they say about time flying by. <\/p>\n

In October 2018, ClearCourse was founded by our CEO Gerry Gualtieri and Head of M&A, Joshua Rowe, as an ambitious business prospect with potential: an idea that won the faith of an experienced executive team and the initial investment of Aquiline Capital Partners in the US. <\/p>\n

Four years later, our group has seen significant growth. We have active regional offices, over 900 employees and almost 40 businesses \u2013 and we fully expect to reach new heights in 2023 and beyond.<\/p>\n

Our achievements to date are worth celebrating far and wide. Those stem directly from our core philosophy of \u2018working better together<\/strong>\u2019, which we value most. Indeed, the last four years have been full of change and growth \u2013 and it\u2019s worth taking some time to consider the biggest steps in our journey to become a unified group and a growing influence in business software.<\/p>\n

ClearCourse named as Business Leader Scale-Up Awards 2022 finalist<\/h2>\n

In addition to reaching our own milestones, it\u2019s equally gratifying to be recognised by the industry this year.<\/p>\n

We were delighted to hear that we\u2019d been named as one of the finalists<\/a> in two categories of the Business Leader Scale-Up Awards 2022: Technology Scale-Up and Overall Scale-Up Business. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time we\u2019ve entered awards like these, and to be named as a finalist from more than 500 fantastic entrants is a great accolade for everyone who\u2019s played a part in the ClearCourse story. <\/p>\n

Earning external recognition is always a rewarding feeling. Indeed, being told by a panel of impartial industry experts (including Touker Suleyman from Dragon\u2019s Den and PensionBee Co-founder Jonathan Lister Parsons) that our journey is impressive is, we hope, an encouraging sign of our positive impact.<\/p>\n

Finding new milestones<\/h2>\n

In moments of reflection, it\u2019s sometimes staggering to see just how much we\u2019ve done in a relatively short period, which was made even shorter \u2013 and infinitely more challenging \u2013 by the global pandemic. <\/p>\n

But scaling so quickly isn\u2019t easy, and there remains much to achieve as we move forward. It\u2019s important for everyone \u2013 from our team to our future business prospects \u2013 to continue to see and embrace progress. ClearCourse thrives on the absolute commitment and dedication to excellence that our teams work hard to foster. <\/p>\n

Indeed, our commitments to integration, collaboration and investing in great people, as well as great businesses, will remain as grounding values we take forward as we embark on further growth. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what \u2018working better together\u2019 is all about.<\/p>\n

In the years to come, here\u2019s to breaking new records and celebrating new wins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
