Bud provides specialised software as a service to apprenticeship and other training organisations to enable the cost-effective delivery of high quality, compliant training whilst improving the visibility of progress and performance. Bud’s end-to-end approach brings together learners, training providers and employers across all aspects from enrolment through to reporting and regulatory compliance.
Bud was co-founded by Heather Frankham, who has a track record in the training sector having grown and successfully exited the UK’s largest apprenticeship provider, Lifetime Training. CEO John Ingram is also an experienced operator in the education sector, having scaled and exited two businesses in the space, most recently at Pamoja Education which was sold to Faria Education.
The business operates in a market with compelling growth drivers and benefits from high recurring revenues, working with a number of blue-chip employers and establishing relationships with many of the UK’s largest training providers.
We are incredibly excited to partner with Maven alongside our founder investors, to continue the company’s rapid growth. These funds will be used to grow the business at scale with significant product enhancements. This will ensure we continue to be the leading end-to-end apprenticeship training platform while extending into other areas of training provision for our existing and new clients.
