Our headquarters are in London, and within our UK based operation, we've been adding (through acquisition) a new business to our group at the rate of almost one each month. These market–leading software businesses form our five divisions across a number of verticals, with our integrated payments platform, ClearAccept, intrinsic to the entire organisation.
Our team is almost 700 people strong, and we work from homes and offices throughout the UK. As a result of significant growth, we've recently appointed our first Chief People Officer (CPO), who will further build on our commitment and responsibilities to our employees, customers, partners, and suppliers.
Working better together is central to everything we do, which is an advantage, as each time we add a new business, we're adding new ideas and innovation.
