Regionally based recruiter of teachers and classroom assistants

Delivering high quality jobs across the country

In the 9 months since our investment, Now has increased its workforce by 8% and is planning to grow at similar rates over the course of Prefequity's investment.
Now is a living wage employer with 100% of jobs being above the living wage.

Putting best-in-class procedures in place

Now attaches high importance to rigorous processes and ensures that all teachers are vetted. As a member of APSCo, Now ensures that it remains on top of the latest regulations and compliance best-practices delivered through continuous training.
Each office has its own compliance function, enabling more responsive interactions between compliance and consultants.

Strengthening operations for independent growth and success

Having grown rapidly in recent years, Now relied on the founder’s group for some support functions. As part of Prefequity’s investment, management undertook a detailed business review and implemented a plan to ensure systems, processes and controls robust on a standalone basis.
With external support provided via Prefequity, a new finance function has been established.
