Edinburgh training operations company raises £5m for automation

A SCOTS training operations company announced today that it has raised £5m from existing investors Archangels, Mercia, and the Scottish Investment Bank.

Administrate, the leading enterprise training operations platform, will deploy these funds to support the company’s rapid growth and continue to meet the needs of its diverse and growing customer base.

The Edinburgh-based company was recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK by global tech and advisory firm GP Bullhound.

It provides a scheduling and logistics platform used by some of the biggest brands in the world to manage their complex global training operations.

“Administrate is an innovative and rapidly expanding business that has continued to deliver double-digit growth within its enterprise customers segment in the last couple of years.

customers on their books, this new funding package will allow the team to accelerate growth, particularly stateside, where they have seen significant growth among large multinational corporations.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with the team on this next exciting
chapter of their story.”
