How we helped

mthree is an emerging talent and reskill training partner for public and private organisations across the globe, helping futureproof companies in the face of an increased pace of change, widening the gap between the skills needed and their availability in the workforce.

Internationalisation:

  • mthree expanded further into the European market during our investment, opening four new offices in Germany, Singapore, Ireland and Poland.
  • We supported mthree on their organic growth plan for the US and Canada, including investing into a sales team, delivery resource and training centre in New York. This helped position mthree for exit to US buyers.

People & culture:

  • We worked closely with the mthree team to develop and run two engagement surveys to help understand the level of engagement across different global locations and roles, to develop a number of initiatives to promote employee engagement and internal communications.

Following a period of strong growth, ECI exited mthree to Wiley, a listed US Education provider, in 2020 generating a return of 2.7x. The transaction will further accelerate mthree’s North American growth which was a key part of the company’s transformation during our investment.
