Centaur's metamorphosis
In recent years, the Group has evolved rapidly as we focus on the paid provision of business intelligence, consultancy, training and lead generation, building on the reputation and trust established from our history of providing highly valued thought leading content in innovative ways.
In 2019, Centaur completed a radical transformation programme to create a simpler and more efficient Group focused on two attractive sectors: the marketing and legal professions. By divesting 21 of our smaller and ex-growth brands, we simplified our business, raised £16.3m net cash and established the platform to drive margin enhancement through profitable revenue growth and cost synergies. As a result of this, Centaur is a more effective and efficient business comprising two business units – Xeim and The Lawyer.
Our Xeim and The Lawyer business units serve the marketing and legal sectors respectively and, across both, our customer centric approach enables us to offer a wide range of products and services targeted at helping our clients to add value.
Our reputation is based on the trust and confidence arising from a deep understanding of these sectors and innovation to satisfy what our customers need; we have developed a strong track record for providing insight, content, data and training. Our key strengths are the expertise of our people, the quality of our brands and products, and our ability to harness technology to innovate continually and develop our customer offering. This enables us to help our customers raise their aspirations and deliver better performance.
