Nottingham learning tech company acquires employee hub

Thrive, the Nottingham-based learning technology company, has acquired Huler, the next-gen employee hub, to build a fully integrated learning, mentoring and employee experience platform.

The acquisition of Huler, a smart intranet with AI-powered search and personalisation, is Thrive’s second this month, following its deal with Guider, the mentoring and coaching platform.

CEO and founder of Thrive, Sean Reddington, said: “We’re in the AI era now, and it’s time workplace tools caught up.

“With Thrive, Guider and Huler, we’re building tools that are actually fit for how people think, learn and work today. They’re fast, intuitive, and built to bring together human connection and AI – the way work should be.”

The acquisition of Huler extends Thrive’s reach into the internal comms and employee experience market.

Huler CEO Richard Urwin said: “We set out to change the world of work and make workplace tools feel as intuitive and accessible as the apps people love outside of work. We’ve always had bold ambitions and a different way of doing things, so teaming up with Thrive made perfect sense.

“With their momentum, vision and standout tech stack, we’re not just building tools for the AI era – we’re delivering them to customers who are ready to lead now.”

‍Huler will continue to operate as a standalone brand.
