Leicester-based Meet and Engage Limited (M&E) has been sold to Unseen Group (Gradtouch Limited).
M&E provides a technology platform that enables large corporates to manage their recruitment and graduate programmes more effectively.
After receiving landmark investment from Pelican Capital in 2024, Unseen has completed four strategic acquisitions. Meet & Engage is the tenth organisation overall to join the group.
Zac Williams, CEO of Manchester-based Unseen Group, said: “Meet & Engage is a fantastic product that plays an essential role in the hiring processes of some of the UK’s biggest organisations.
“The addition of a candidate experience and onboarding solution – especially one with the reputation and power of Meet & Engage – will be transformational for us and our ability to empower and service our educator and employer partners.”
Ali Hackett, co-founder and managing director of Meet and Engage, who remains in her role following the acquisition, said: “This marks an exciting opportunity not just for our clients – who will benefit from greater access to cutting-edge thinking and solutions – but also for our team, who now have even more scope for career development and fresh perspectives.
“The onboarding and integration process has been outstanding, and every day we’re uncovering new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
“We’re thrilled to be part of this next chapter and to contribute to the momentum of the Unseen Group.”
Dains Corporate Finance and BHW Solicitors advised the shareholders of M&E.
Chris Matthews, corporate finance associate director at Dains, said: “It’s been a pleasure to help the shareholders of M&E in getting their sale agreed with Unseen Group (Gradtouch).
“The solution that the team has developed is trusted by some of the most highly regarded brands in the country. This transaction should help see the development of the platform to continue delivering for their existing and new clients into the future.”
