West Midlands-based SecureCloud+ has received a £5 million follow-on investment from Gresham House Ventures to accelerate development of its secure collaboration platform for the UK defence and government sectors.

The Stoke-on-Trent company has tripled its headcount since Gresham House’s first investment in 2018 and will use the new funding to enhance automation and user capabilities.

It has also made leadership changes, with Greg Clarke appointed executive chair and founder Peter Williamson becoming a non-executive director.
