Qurated was founded with a clear vision: to empower businesses and people to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by technology and innovation. Established in 2016, we marked a pivotal moment in 2021 with a successful management buyout, propelling us to new heights of growth and innovation.
This growth includes our expansion into the US and the addition of new markets to our portfolio, enabling us to better serve both new and existing clients across the regions we operate in.
As a company that is 50% female-founded, we are dedicated to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture. Our commitment to our core values - Action, Impact, and Growth guide everything we do. From tackling charitable initiatives like the 3 Peaks Challenge to abseiling off The Royal London Hospital, we are continuously expanding our focus on community-driven efforts and making a positive, lasting impact.

Our vision for the future is bold yet attainable. We set ambitious goals, challenging ourselves to raise the bar, push boundaries, and think strategically. At the heart of our growth is a commitment to transform how businesses identify and connect with their future leaders and then support them in achieving their goals.
As we expand into new regions and strengthen our capabilities, we're also building our internal team. By the end of 2025, we plan to double our workforce to drive our mission forward.
With a strong foundation and a track record of success, we are well-positioned to deepen our impact across our clients, consultants, and colleagues alike. We are setting a new standard for excellence in leadership solutions and forging ahead with purpose and integrity.
