Testimonials:
“We’re thrilled to reach the next step in our journey and to be supported by NorthEdge. We have an incredibly strong product, evidenced by our roster of world-leading brands, and a great team. NorthEdge will support us to accelerate investment into our commercial team, which in turn will enable us to support more clients to enhance connection and engagement with their people, increase colleague retention and deliver on their ambition of being great places to work.”

"I have worked with ICON for the last five years on various transactions and I have been delighted to have them as our professional corporate advisors. They have dealt with many tricky challenges and I have been so impressed with their patience, resilience, experience, objectivity, extremely hard work and independence in providing advice to our team – and, most of all they are terrifically nice people. This has culminated in a very successful transaction for our business sale and we are most grateful for their ongoing support in achieving this. As Chairman of our business I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of ICON."

“The partnership with Aries will enable us to realise our global aspirations for the business, and continue to deliver ongoing product innovation, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to empower companies to simplify their workplace technology and the experiences their people have with it.”
