ClassForKids, the Glasgow-based site which is used by more than 3,000 kids’ activity clubs to help parents and owners save time and money, has been sold to The Access Group, one of the UK’s leading providers of business management software.

The business services team at Blackadders advising on the deal was led by corporate partner and chairman of the firm, Peter Duff, with support from corporate associate, Dario Demarco.

In the last decade, ClassForKids has quickly scaled its operations to become the UK’s leading provider of booking and management software for activity clubs, allowing owners and organisers to manage and grow their businesses more effectively.

Nikki Th’ng, CEO at ClassForKids, said: “There have been many twists, turns and challenges from start to finish throughout my ClassForKids time. The sale process was no different but in my 10 years working with Peter and the team at Blackadders I have always felt protected and given great advice along the way.

“It’s has been a pleasure working with Blackadders on the sale of ClassForKids and throughout my entire business journey. They understand the balance of commercial law and the need to move quickly in a fast-paced tech culture.”

ClassForKids has been a client of Blackadders since its incorporation. The size of the deal has not been disclosed.

Reflecting on the sale and on the long-standing client relationship, Mr Duff said: “Having supported Nikki and his vision for the business over the years, including through various rounds of investment over the years, it was great to be part of bringing matters to a conclusion.”

Mr Demarco said: “It was a pleasure to help see the shareholders through the sale process. ClassForKids is a real success story in the Scottish technology sector and only serves to further highlight the impressive calibre of talent and innovation that the sector is well-known for.”
