Aquiline-backed Clearcourse buys Circdata

It is the fifth acquisition Clearcourse has made since it was established with Aquiline's backing in October 2018.

The holding company was set up as a buy-and-build strategy in the membership software services space.

Since its foundation, it has acquired four other UK-based software and service providers: MillerTech, Silverbear, Clear Direct Debit and APT Solutions.

Following the acquisition, Circdata will be led by incoming managing director Chris Clipston and the existing management team. James Ormiston, Circdata's founder, will transition to an advisory and consulting role.
