Management Buyout Marks a New Chapter for My Digital

My Digital, a leading provider of cloud-based payroll and accounting software, is pleased to announce a successful private management buyout (MBO), marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey. This development follows a fruitful partnership with the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF), which began with a strategic investment back in March 2019.

Initially, NPIF – Maven Equity Finance, managed by Maven Fund Managers, invested £1.2 million in My Digital. This crucial funding enabled My Digital to significantly scale its operations, doubling its headcount, developing a range of innovative FinTech products, and enhancing its marketing efforts. Since then, My Digital has become a market-leading provider of payroll and accounting software in the temporary labour industry, recognised for the quality of its products and service levels. The company’s success is evidenced by multiple industry awards, including winning The Contracting Awards for Best Payroll Software for two consecutive years, and a ranking in the Top 50 the fastest-growing tech companies at the Northern Tech Awards for four consecutive years.

John Whelan, CEO of My Digital, said, “This management buyout is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and the unwavering support from Maven and NPIF. Special thanks to Gavin Bell, who saw potential in our vision, and Karen DeMeza, whose operational guidance was invaluable. Our company has not only achieved but surpassed our expectations thanks to their support at a crucial time.”

The management buyout is a testament to the company’s strong leadership and solid financial foundation, which were developed under our partnership. This is indeed a success story for NPIF, providing a shining example for future investments.”
