Wed, 29 May 2024 | BUSINESS NEWS
Impact Futures and The Childcare Company, a provider of apprenticeships and commercial training programmes to customers in licence-to-practice healthcare end markets, has secured new funding for its organic and acquisitive growth plans.
August Equity has invested in the company alongside the existing management team. This represents the first institutional capital investment that the company has received and the funding will be used to pursue organic growth opportunities in its core end markets, as well as targeted M&A activity as the firm seeks to build scale.
The business currently delivers around 5,000 apprenticeships each year, seeking to provide access to high quality vocational learning.
Commenting on the news, Impact Futures Chairman Guy Helman said: "Our focus has always been on ensuring that we provide the highest quality outcomes and solutions for our learners and client partners whilst offering a dynamic and supportive environment for our incredible workforce.”
"It was imperative that we found a partner that shared those values and ambition for future growth and I feel fortunate that we have found that in August Equity."
David Lonsdale, Managing Partner at August Equity, added: “The investment in Impact Futures represents a classic August Equity Investment and is aligned with our focus on primary buyouts of B2B services and software assets in compliance driven end markets across healthcare, education, business services and technology."
August Equity partner Kishan Chotai commented: "At August, we have a long-standing history of investing in businesses that are providing regulatory driven, mission critical services to customers.”
"Our understanding of the health & social care and early years end markets has highlighted the important role that apprenticeships play in facilitating compliance with regulations and career progression opportunities for employees."
