Funds for British Employee Experience Platform Huler

Stoke on Trent, UK-based employee experience tech firm Huler has raised £1.5m in funding, to support further development of its 'HulerHub' employee experience platform and add ten new staff. David Kelly joins the firm as part of the deal, as Chief Revenue Officer.

Huler's Employee Experience Platform (EXP) allows HR teams to simplify employee communications and data, bringing together software and content needed by employees and providing insights for HR teams on how to connect and engage them.

The company was launched two years ago by HR and work tech specialist Nicky Hoyland (pictured) and Stoke-based entrepreneur Gareth Mobley, founder and former CEO of DW3 Products Group.

Kelly brings more than twenty years' experience from HR tech businesses including IBM, where he led the talent management solutions business in Europe.

The latest funding comes from the MEIF Proof of Concept & Early Stage Fund, which is managed by Mercia Ventures and is part of the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF), and Mercia's EIS funds. The same investors put some £2m into the company in December 2022. MEIF is supported financially by the European Union using funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

CEO Hoyland (pictured) comments: 'With hybrid and remote working now considered normal, employees are increasingly reliant on technology to stay connected and productive, but the adoption of incohesive, clunky technology is contributing to burnout and decreased engagement. HulerHub is designed to make work simple again. This investment will help us fuel our revenue growth and further develop the product to bring maximum value to our clients'.
