OneFile, the UK's leading apprenticeship Ed-Tech SaaS supplier, today announces it has been acquired by Harris. Harris, a Canadian company and an operating group of Constellation Software Inc., is a global provider of software solutions to the public sector and is well respected for working closely with its portfolio companies while enabling them to maintain their autonomy. The acquisition represents an exciting time in OneFile's evolution and secures the long-term stability and ownership of the business. Under the terms of the acquisition, the OneFile brand will be retained, and the technology platforms will remain unchanged to enable OneFile to continue to focus and support its much-valued customers.
As part of the acquisition, CEO and founder of OneFile, Susanna Lawson will be moving to a new ambassadorial role as OneFile Founder. Sue Thexton, the current CRO, under whose guidance the company has seen rapid revenue growth over the past 12 months, will now assume the helm of OneFile as Executive Vice President and Managing Director. "I am delighted and humbled to be named as the new MD of OneFile. Susanna has spent the past 16 years building the company to where we are today, and I welcome the opportunity to be entrusted with the next stage in our development" Thexton said.
Susanna Lawson adds "I knew that I wanted a home for life for OneFile, and to retain the brand and autonomy with a company that aligned with our values. That is what Harris has provided. I am honoured to be asked to continue in an ambassadorial role for a company and sector that I am passionate about."
