Since its launch in 2017, Accredit Solutions has seen rapid growth, gaining an international reputation as a leading sporting and major event accreditation platform and has built a reputation on decreasing the risk of terrorism with its cybersecurity capabilities that can be adapted for the varying risk levels in different industries.

Their offering extends across verticals including consumer, healthcare and service and key clients include The Football Association, International Cricket Council, Professional Golf Association and Kansas City Chiefs.

The investment will be used to drive further expansion and strategic new penetration into the business’s core markets globally. As part of the deal, Gresham House Ventures venture partner Matt Mead will join Accredit Solutions’ board.

We are very excited to be backing Peder Berg and his team and supporting their international expansion plans over the coming years.”
