Shireburn has announced that it is investing in UP Ltd, a leading business coaching and executive development company led by business strategist and executive coach, Nathan Farrugia, to accelerate UP’s growth locally and internationally.

Following a year during which UP has provided the Shireburn team with performance coaching, associated personnel development and management consulting services, Shireburn has partnered with UP to bring simi­lar value to Shireburn’s extensive client base and scale its operations further.

“Shireburn has expanded ra­pid­ly over the past 18 months to a team of 65. Farrugia and his team at UP worked closely for the past year with our management and team leaders to boost and empower our growing workforce,” said John de Giorgio, Shireburn CEO. “We were so impressed with the impact on our teams and our business that we have decided to invest as shareholders in UP.”

Shireburn has a 35-year history of delivering technology solutions to local and international companies. Today Shireburn enjoys a dominant position in the HR sector with the Shireburn Indigo Payroll, Leave and Time & Attendance software serving over 48,000 users, within clients of all sizes and across all industries.

“UP has grown significantly over the past four years and now includes many of the leading businesses across a wide range of industries as its clients. Our team works within companies to boost their human performance, coaching individuals from the CEO downwards, both locally and internationally” said Farrugia, founder and CEO of UP.

“The partnership with Shireburn allows us to leverage each other’s strengths and offer our services to the thousands of companies that rely on Shireburn to run their businesses. However, that is just the start; our partnership aims to support mutual growth, by merging digital innovation with education, and incorporate learning facilitated by AI to the benefit of our clients.”

By bringing together Shireburn’s business technology skills and UP’s coaching expertise, the two companies have plans to collaborate on a number of projects that include an online training academy, virtual coaching tools and blended learning qualifications.

Shireburn and UP aspire to continue to lead the local business sector through thought leadership, creativity and exceptionally talented team players.
