Our take
Founded in 1989 as a mailing system in Cheshire, GBG became an information management company before several acquisitions and name changes led it full circle back to operations under GB Group - or GBG. Now valued at $1.7 billion, the company created an international identity verification service that is its current leading product.
With 21 countries under its wing and companies such as IBM and HSBC using its services, GBG simplifies employee onboarding, cyber security, and personal data protection with a friction-free digital platform.
With international revenues steadily growing, GBG managed to navigate the market from acquired startup to company-acquiring global leader. However, the rocky economic climate in the UK has led to GBG's purchase by US private equity firm GTCR in September 2022, a growing trend among foreign companies in the UK tech industry. Since then, however, GBG has gone on to win contracts with award-winning companies like Shoplazza, indicating that it has retained its momentum post-acquisition.
