- Business
Just over a year ago, The Noledge Group committed £1.5 million over three years to establish a stronger presence in the UK. Today, it’s clear that this investment is already showing results, and we are excited about what lies ahead.
Recognised in Ireland as trusted ERP specialists, we set out to bring that same level of expertise, professionalism, and people-first service to organisations across England, Scotland, and Wales. Since opening our Newcastle office, we have been steadily building momentum – creating jobs, forming strong local partnerships, and laying a solid foundation for future growth.
For us, digital transformation goes beyond software. It’s about people – understanding business needs, listening to challenges, and delivering solutions that make a lasting impact.
Building the UK team and culture
People remain central to our success. In our first year, we expanded the team with ERP consultants, support staff, and specialists who share our core values of integrity, innovation, and service excellence.
Our long-term vision is to triple the size of our UK workforce, supported by continued investment in training, certifications, and career progression.
Chris Hawley, our UK Managing Director, explains: “Our biggest investment is in people and culture. We have always been committed to attracting and retaining experts, and we are building a UK team with the same dedication to quality and service that has defined our growth in Ireland.”
Bringing decades of ERP expertise to UK SMEs
The Noledge Group is the parent company of Envisage – one of the UK and Ireland’s top Sage partners, and OSSM, an award-winning Oracle NetSuite Solution Provider. Together, we deliver a full suite of ERP solutions, including Sage Intacct, Sage 200, and NetSuite.
Our experience spans many industries such as retail, manufacturing, healthcare, nonprofit, construction, distribution, and education. This diversity gives us deep insight into what organisations value most: efficiency, compliance, adaptability, and simplicity. Our role is to design ERP systems that match these priorities while addressing the unique challenges each business faces.
For example, we recently partnered with Italica, a family-run supplier of fine Italian wines and provisions in Newcastle. As the company grew, Envisage implemented Sage 200, which enhanced visibility, strengthened controls, and supported their ongoing expansion while helping them deliver outstanding service to customers.
Local support with national reach
Our vision is to replicate in the UK the same reputation for excellence we have established in Ireland. Over the next two years, we are focusing on:
• Extending our footprint across England, Scotland, and Wales to deliver localised support
• Growing the UK team to provide closer engagement and faster response times
• Developing scalable cloud, AI, and automation solutions
• Building new partnerships with local industry leaders to encourage innovation
With digital transformation accelerating in the UK, our in-house development team is creating advanced tools to help organisations streamline finance processes, improve compliance, and unlock actionable insights from data. Our aim is simple: to empower businesses to thrive and make smarter decisions.
Cloud, AI, and sustainability at the core
At Noledge, we don’t just deliver systems – we open up possibilities. From AI-driven automation to ESG-focused technology strategies, our approach ensures that ERP projects deliver long-term value, not just operational improvements.
Sustainable growth is a key part of this vision. We are dedicated to supporting businesses in expanding responsibly, balancing growth with compliance and environmental responsibility in an evolving economic landscape.
Working together
Partnerships have always been fundamental to how we operate. With more than 20 years of experience, we understand what makes collaboration successful. In the UK, we are continuing to strengthen existing partnerships and create new ones, building a network that values customer success and people-first growth.
As Chris Hawley notes: “Our partners bring sector knowledge and complementary technology. Together, we deliver ERP solutions designed around the real needs of UK SMEs.”
Looking ahead
As we step into our second year of operations in the UK, the outlook is bright. We remain committed to our goals: building a strong local presence, delivering transformative technology, and helping organisations unlock the full potential of ERP.
