Northstar et al. inject £1.1m into Screach

The fresh capital will enable Screach to expand its range of services, which currently focus on the UK pub sector, into new segments including gaming, gambling and retail.

As part of the deal, James Dickson – formerly marketing and sales director at Heineken and executive chair at Vianet – will join the business as chairperson.

Northern-England-focused angel network Northern Growth Network also took part in the round.
