In 2023, we invested £4.2 million into Recite Me, to support the company’s ambitious expansion plans. Recite Me’s assistive technology removes online obstacles for those with disabilities, visual impairments or learning difficulties, and those who speak English as a second language, among others. And the fast-growing software business already counts brands such as Boots, Coca Cola and VW among its customers, as well as BGF (click on the Accessibility button in our website navigation to try out Recite Me’s toolbar for yourself).

“To galvanise our growth, we were looking for investment partners who shared our values and ambitions, and brought their experience of scaling businesses to the next level. BGF was the obvious choice, and we look forward to working with them to invest further in our technology, team and infrastructure, so our tech can benefit even more people across the world.”
