London-based Rotageek gets £3-million dosage to expand smart employee scheduling

London-based smart workforce scheduling company Rotageek has raised a £3 million in funding. The round was led by Volution, Calculus Capital, and Gresham House Ventures.

The investment will enable the platform to drive expansion following several years of growth, in which the company signed large retail clients, including Caffè Nero, McColl’s, White Stuff, and Charlotte Tilbury.

Founded by Dr Chris McCullough, Nick Mann and Roy Pounder, the UK-based startup uses cloud-based technology and automatic scheduling to help multi-site businesses manage and schedule staff to meet demand, drive efficiency and reduce costs.

According to the company, it has made traction in the healthcare sector, replacing long-established rostering solutions in Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust.

The new round of funding will support the continued growth of the business, with investment planned in product development, sales, and marketing. Dr Chris McCullough commented: “The funding from our current investors enables us to accelerate our growth as we deliver more value for more and more clients.”

Talking about how the investment will support Rotageek, Ed Wass, portfolio partner at Gresham House Ventures added: “Our investment aims to deliver further growth for Rotageek as it takes advantage of the broad range of innovative opportunities it has created.”
