Emerald Group Holdings Limited (Emerald) - the global knowledge business that brings research to life - has positioned itself for further growth after agreeing a £27.5m financing package with Barclays and HSBC.
Emerald employs around 400 people worldwide and generates over £40m of turnover, principally through publishing academic journals and books. However, in recent years Emerald has diversified through acquisition, buying Research Media in 2013 and GoodPractice in 2015. Emerald is now poised to accelerate its growth plans by launching news products and acquiring digital businesses in the research and learning markets over the medium term.
Though headquartered in the UK, more than 80% of Emerald’s revenues comes from overseas markets and it has offices in 12 key international locations such as Beijing, Boston and New Delhi. Emerald is very confident that its international outlook will enable it to expand further.
