Omniplex Surges Forward with Strong Revenue Growth, Acquires Cyber Security Training Firm

Omniplex Learning, supported by private equity firm LDC, has reported significant growth in revenue and EBITDA. In the fiscal year leading up to June 2024, the digital learning provider's revenue rose by 18% to £24 million, and EBITDA increased by 25% to £5 million. Much of this growth has been driven by strategic investments in people, systems, and infrastructure, enhancing customer relationships and expanding product offerings. Omniplex's customer base has expanded to over 4,000 globally, aided by the acquisition of the cyber security training provider, Matobo, in June 2024. As a result, average customer spend from long-standing clients has tripled over the last two years. The company anticipates continued growth in the financial year extending to June 2025, with predicted increases in revenue and EBITDA at 20% and 25%, respectively. CEO Patrick Jocelyn attributes this success to the team's hard work and strategic efforts in building a comprehensive product suite and customer engagement strategy.
