Scottish online literacy software company Giglets Education has been acquired by Swedish education technology firm ILT Education.
The seven-figure deal will see Giglets founder and chief executive Craig Johnstone remain in his role and continue to grow the business from its Kilmarnock base.
More than 120,000 pupils and 40,000 teachers already use the literacy platform, which was started at school as part of an enterprise project, before being spun out as a digital business from the University of Strathclyde.
