After five acquisitions and rebrands across the North, South and Midlands since 2021, Humly takes aim at a London supply market worth upwards of £300m per annum, according to its press release.

Sweden-headquartered Humly says it aims to revolutionise the supply education sector with its digital marketplace, connecting educators, schools and nurseries with ease and at scale.

London has more than 3,000 schools across primary, secondary and SEN (special educational needs) with roughly 20,000 supply teachers. There are also over 1,800 registered public and private nurseries in the capital, with 12,000 supply nursery nurses.

Located in the London Borough of Croydon, Future Education has more than 20 years of experience and local knowledge. It currently has 300 primary, secondary, and SEN school clients who are served by over 30 dedicated professionals.

Humly chief corporate development officer Alex Shanks (pictured) said: “Future Education is a perfect fit for Humly. They have a culture of honesty and transparency, which aligns with our values and we see this acquisition as an exciting next step on our journey.”
