This is a huge milestone for us, but more importantly, it’s a reflection of our ongoing commitment to information security, data protection, and the trust you place in us. This isn’t just a badge. It’s proof that we take security seriously and have embedded robust safeguards into how we operate every single day.

What exactly is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized benchmark for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a strict framework for organizations to identify, manage, and mitigate data risks.

Achieving this means our systems, processes, and controls have been tested against the highest global standards, and they passed with flying colors. 

The Bottom Line: What This Means For You

We understand the importance of keeping your data secure, which is why we invest in industry-leading security practices. This certification ensures:

• Your information is handled using best-in-class security protocols.
• We proactively identify and mitigate risks.
• Our processes are designed to ensure secure, reliable service and minimise the risk of disruption.

Looking Ahead (Because Security Never Sleeps)

Having first achieved ISO 27001 certification in 2025, we are continuing to maintain and strengthen our information security practices.

Now we’ve formed this foundation, moving forward, we will continue to:

• Regularly stress-test and improve our security practices.
  
• Stay steps ahead of emerging digital risks and threats.
  
• Give you absolute confidence that your data is safe.
  

Security, trust, and reliability are at the heart of any strong partnership. So, this milestone strengthens our ability to support your organization with total confidence, today and as your needs evolve.

We believe video is perfect for bite-sized learning and delivers information in a way that’s both accessible and effective. The best part? This isn’t just another AI hype story. Colossyan is a market-ready solution that makes high-quality video creation accessible to L&D teams and beyond. If you’re looking for a way to rapidly produce professional-looking videos, this is it.

What does this mean for you?

As part of this partnership, GuyKat is now an authorised reseller of Colossyan’s software, as well as a provider of additional professional services to support Colossyan customers. This means our clients not only get access to an incredible tool, but they also have our expert guidance in making the most of it.

Our mission at GuyKat has always been to help organisations share knowledge at scale through technology. Colossyan aligns perfectly with this vision, offering an innovative solution that complements our existing suite of services. Whether you’re already working with us on bespoke content creation, or updating your existing content, Colossyan is another exciting tool we can bring to the table.

What comes next for AI-powered video?

We see huge potential for AI-driven video in eLearning and we can’t wait to introduce this technology to you.

This year marks a milestone, GuyKat is officially 15 years old!

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, it happens to coincide with a special birthday for our CEO and founder, Guy McEvoy. Guy’s vision and leadership have been instrumental in shaping GuyKat into the business it is today.

At GuyKat, we’ve built a team of talented, like-minded professionals who bring their expertise, collaboration, and a sense of fun to the workplace every day. Plus, over the past 15 years, we’ve also had the privilege of working with some amazing clients and partners. There are not many companies that you can party and work with, but that is just our way!

As we look to the future, we’re more excited than ever about what lies ahead. Here’s to the next 15 years! And of course, here’s to the people who make it all possible – our team, clients, and partners who’ve supported us along the way.

International eLearning company GuyKat has been named a finalist for the UK Company Culture Awards in the ‘Best Employee Development Programme’ category for its Graduate Trainee Scheme. This prestigious recognition is a testament to GuyKat’s commitment to providing a complete online learning experience that focuses on human-centred technology, engaging instructional design, and expert project consultancy.

GuyKat’s mission is to maximise the potential of an organisation’s workforce through planning, creating and implementing online learning solutions. With a client portfolio that includes Amnesty International, Kiehl’s, and La-Z-Boy, the company has established a global reputation for outstanding work over the last decade in the eLearning industry.

Since the scheme’s launch in 2019, the company has more than doubled in size. 100% of participants in the Graduate Scheme transition into a permanent role within the company. Currently, there are 20 members of staff that have either completed the Graduate Scheme or are currently enrolled. In 2022, the company’s most successful year to date in terms of revenue, GuyKat had its largest intake of grads, totalling 15 new team members.

The training initiative is a cornerstone of GuyKat’s employee development program, offering candidates an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and exposure to many diverse roles within the company. This program helps candidates make informed decisions about their future career paths within the company, ultimately leading to a more engaged and fulfilled workforce.

The trainee initiative feeds into GuyKat’s vibrant and dynamic company culture by contributing to their core values of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. The Graduate Trainee Scheme has hugely contributed to maintaining the company ethos at GuyKat, and has helped the company retain its core values whilst being able to scale.

“We are thrilled to be named a finalist for the UK Company Culture Awards in the ‘Best Employee Development Programme’ category,” said Guy McEvoy, CEO of GuyKat. “Our Graduate Trainee Scheme is a testament to our commitment to employee development and our belief that investing in our people is the key to our success.”

GuyKat’s Tampa-based US team will launch content authoring tool, FLOWSPARKS, to the US market in October at DevLearn, Las Vegas’s leading learning technologies event. This follows a successful launch in the UK earlier this year. 

 FLOWSPARKS is already well established in continental Europe. In March 2022 the partnership with GuyKat was set up as a way to accelerate product adoption in the UK and North America.  The product’s simple-to-use interface allows the quick creation of great-looking content based on sound instructional design principles. FLOWSPARKS’ output can be installed on any standard LMS.

 DevLearn will take place on October 26th-28th at The Mirage Hotel, located in the centre of the famous Las Vegas Strip. Find GuyKat with FLOWSPARKS at booth #827.

Register your attendance at DevLearn here.

“We’re lucky nowadays, there are some great authoring tools on the market. Our own content creation team loves tools like Captivate, Storyline, and Rise. They are superb products. But all have various learning curves.  When clients build stuff in-house, they usually want to focus on the content itself. They don’t want to invest time upskilling as an IT developer, graphic artist, or instructional designer. FLOWSPARKS solves that problem. You get great-looking output created with ease. The software does the heavy lifting. Anyone at DevLearn should swing by to see the new show in town!”

GuyKat Founder & CEO, Guy McEvoy

A Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a tool that helps organisations understand where they rank for a specific capability. GuyKat’s CMM provides a benchmark in learning technology. Having a benchmark helps a business develop a plan to grow from their current level of capability to their desired level.

A free seminar on the Learning Capability Maturity Model will be held at London’s Learning Technologies event this May, which is open to anyone who has an interest in learning more about the CMM.

The model is for:

• Learning and Development Professionals

Do you work in L&D but do not know what level of technology investment you should make to support your learning goals?

• Functional Leaders

In your business, are you responsible for ensuring best practices? Or are you responsible for creating a centre of excellence for a specific function (such as sales or finance)?

• Partner Enablement Professionals

Do you want your partners, distributors, and suppliers to benefit from the knowledge you share with them?

• Learning Technology Professionals

Are you involved in the sale or implementation of Learning Technology?

If you’re interested in finding out more, catch GuyKat’s Founder & CEO, Guy McEvoy,  at Theatre 8 on Thursday 5th May at 3:30pm. You can find GuyKat on stand M30 during both days of the event.

We are excited to be exhibiting at Europe’s leading workplace learning event – Learning Technologies 2022. The event will highlight how technology can support and enhance learning in the workplace.

The event will take place at the London ExCel on Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th May. Featuring over 9000 attendees from 50 different countries, 200 seminars, and 200 exhibitors, Learning Technologies continues to grow in importance, value, and attendance each year. A major focus this year is new tools and approaches that can transform workplace learning today, as well as what will have a significant impact in the future. Located right by the catering point, you can find GuyKat at stand M30 – come say hi! 

GuyKat’s Founder & CEO, Guy McEvoy, will be providing a free seminar at Theatre 8 on Thursday 5th May at 3:30pm to discuss our Capability and Maturity Model (CMM) that was developed for Learning Tech. The seminar will detail how using this framework can help benchmark your current capability, but more importantly how to use the tool to help you define what you’re trying to achieve with your tech and aid the creation of a transformation plan to get there. Key insights from the application of the CMM in various organisations will be shared. This is a valuable tool for anyone creating a business plan for investment in Learning Tech.

Our new partners, FLOWSPARKS, will be at Bitesize Learning Zone 2 on Wednesday 4th at 1:35pm, where they will discuss ways to create eLearning without the help of a didactic, graphic designer, or technical expert.

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with FLOWSPARKS, an intuitive content authoring solution. FLOWSPARKS guides authors to create great-looking interactive content based on proven instructional design principles.

GuyKat’s core competency is supporting international customers in designing their digital learning paths. Our partnership with FLOWSPARKS will enable us to offer our clients an intuitive tool to create their own content based on sound instructional design. GuyKat will continue to offer bespoke end-to-end content creation as a core offering. However, there is an increasing trend of organizations wishing to bring their content creation in-house, FLOWSPARKS bridges this gap. Clients benefit by having timely, low-cost access to a wide range of learning options coupled with our expertise in all aspects of the project delivery lifecycle. The content created using FLOWSPARKS can be deployed on any standard LMS.

“We are extremely proud of our partnership with GuyKat, and our shared mission to empower customers by giving them access to the most advanced digital learning environment. We can rely on each other to offer not only best in class learning products but are also aligned on striving for the most excellent customer care.” – FLOWSPARKS Chief Commercial Officer, Cédric Herregodts

“We’re excited to help bring FLOWSPARKS to the UK and US. There are some great intuitive authoring tools on the market but the thing we love about FLOWSPARKS is that it forces the user to add proven instructional design thinking into content. Beautiful design without instructional design is just eye candy. It’s the instructional design that ensures learning has impact. We’ve not seen any other authoring solution that has this guidance baked in. This is a game-changer.” – CEO & Founder of GuyKat, Guy McEvoy
