Aquiline Capital Partners backed ClearCourse Partnership, a group of technology companies providing membership software and services, has acquired Circdata, a provider of event technology. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Newbury. The company employs around 55 people across its head office in the UK and R&D team in Poland. Circdata was originally a data management company and has since developed into an event technology business, providing software solutions to many of the world’s largest exhibition and conference organisers. Its proprietary software platform, Fusion, offers a suite of services that aide exhibitor management, visitor registration, ticket sales and subscriptions.
Following the acquisition, the company will be led by Chris Clipston, in his new role as Managing Director of Circdata, and the existing management team. James Ormiston, Circdata’s founder, will move to an advisory and consulting role.
Since its foundation in 2018, ClearCourse has acquired four other UK-based software and service providers: MillerTech, Silverbear, Clear Direct Debit and APT Solutions. Gerry Gualtieri, CEO of ClearCourse, says: “We are delighted to announce the addition of Circdata to the Partnership. Our mission is to foster talent and innovation in the membership software space, supporting the growth and development of dynamic tech companies through the provision of both capital and operational resource. Circdata’s addition to the group will create several operational and market synergies with our existing companies.
