A successful year for Acuity!

September 30th marked the end of a very successful financial/business year for Acuity Solutions and a change to the company management.

Despite still being in the midst of a pandemic, over the last 12 months Acuity has seen momentous success and growth achieving these impressive results.

Customer Numbers grew increased by over 25%

Orders up by 34% on previous year

Annual recurring revenue grew by over 30%

In addition, we have re-established ourselves as a London based Sage Business Partner with a new office in the City. We are opening a new office in South Wales in the next few months covering both ends of the M4 corridor expanding our reach. Get our up-to-date contact information here.

As of 1st October, we will see changes to the management structure. After 26 years at the helm, Lee Whelan is taking a step back from everyday activities to focus on Acuity’s future direction. Lee will remain part of the business as a shareholder, but now his responsibility will be on the long term strategy and future growth and investments around mergers and acquisitions.

"I'm not retiring, but I am looking forward to being able to spend more time with my family while Stephen worries about the day to day running of Acuity Solutions. This will also free me up to concentrate on longer term strategy, and mergers and acquisitions."- Lee Whelan

As a result of this change, Stephen Clarke (former Chief Sales & Marketing Officer) has been appointed new Managing Director. He will take responsibility for managing the company’s day-to-day performance and delivery of the current year budgets.

Stephen has been with Acuity for almost 5 years, forming part of the Senior Leadership Team, helping the business to become more customer focused and transitioning to a more sustainable recurring business model.

‘I'm very excited and proud to have been trusted by Lee to look after what he's built since 1996. I'm looking forward to the next stage in our growth.’ - Stephen Clarke

Stephen’s move has allowed Acuity to consider the potential of bringing in a new Sales & Marketing Director to join the existing Senior Leadership Team which includes Steve Fuller (Chief Operating Officer) and Mark Cohen (Chief Product Officer) as well as Stephen and Lee.

It’s onwards and upwards for Acuity!
