Learn Amp has been acquired by Cezanne

June 2026 — Learn Amp had been acquired by Cezanne HR Ltd., backed by NorthEdge. The transaction marks NorthEdge’s second bolt-on acquisition for the Cezanne platform. It directly supports Cezanne’s broader strategic focus, evolving from a back-office HR and payroll administration software provider into a full employee lifecycle platform that enables employees to manage their own onboarding, learning, performance and engagement through a single user-first interface.

Founded in 2017, Learn Amp is a UK-based employee learning, development and engagement platform combining a learning management system (LMS), learning experience platform (LXP), talent development and performance management in a single interface. Headquartered in London, the company serves customers around the world, including Specsavers ANZ, Metro Bank, GAIL’s Bakery and Funding Circle. Learn Amp has built a reputation for combining enterprise-grade functionality with the ease of use required by scaling mid-market organizations.

Cezanne provides a comprehensive software offering for midsize businesses across the UK and internationally, covering the entire employee lifecycle. Its solutions help streamline and simplify HR processes, provide better HR insights, improve employee engagement and reduce data administration. The pure-play SaaS business serves users in over 120 countries worldwide and has experienced significant growth over the last six years.
