Humly continues its growth journey and acquires the English staffing company Supply Teaching Ltd. Through the acquisition, the ambition is to grow the digital marketplace for temporary workers also in the English market.

The company has a strong local connection and is the natural choice for the city’s schools’ supply of substitutes. Supply Teaching helps over 100 schools and, during its many years in the industry, has created a strong brand that characterizes high quality delivery.  

“Supply Teaching Ltd are very excited to be working with Humly. Both companies share the same values ​​that students’ education is a priority issue and to match the perfect teacher for every assignment in the school. This combined with a high level of compliance and the latest technology from Humly ensures that the combined companies will continue to grow and offer the best and most complete service to their customers, says Belinda Sparks, founder of Supply Teaching Ltd.”
