A Durham technology company which has trebled in size in the past two years has raised a further £480,000 to help it expand into new markets.
Plexus Innovation has developed Guardian, a remote, automated alert system for care homes and social housing providers, which helps them with important compliance issues and reporting.
Guardian focuses on environmental data, including temperature, and is already being used by clients in sectors such as social housing, education, health and care, with clients including believe housing, North Star Housing Group and Careline Lifestyles. Plexus Innovation has secured £300,000 investment from the North East Venture Fund (NEVF), supported by the European Regional Development Fund and managed by Mercia; and £180,000 from the Finance Durham Fund, managed by Maven Capital Partners, established by Durham County Council and overseen by Business Durham.
