About Us: Our Story
Year 2009: GuyKat is founded.
eLearning used to suck. A lot of it still does but it doesn’t have to. This realisation led to the creation of GuyKat. Founded in 2009, the company started as a specialist in custom eLearning development. This remains a core part of our business. The key skill of our team has always been making complex information easy to understand. We passionately believe that eLearning does not need to be boring and ugly. User experience is at the heart of everything we do.

Year 2012: GuyKat💓Docebo.
We also realised early on that when people told us they needed help with their eLearning, sometimes they meant they needed a system to host the content (i.e. a Learning Management System). Consequently, we partnered with Docebo, becoming the first reseller to bring Docebo LMS to the UK. Since then, we’ve grown a deep expertise in Docebo. This led to the creation of our Docebo Professional Service team. We work with existing Docebo customers all over the world to make their investments successful. Helping with implementation, administration, integration with third-party systems, a full refresh of the platform’s design or building new functionality from scratch.

Year 2014: We went global
Our content and services reached more than 50 countries and tens of thousands of professional learners after just five years of trading.

Year 2015: Our team became multi-award winning.
We won our first award for the Digital Technology prize at the Insider Midlands International Trade Awards in 2015. Followed by our very first employee, Hannah Quinton, winning the Developer of the Year award in 2017. We were further honoured to win both the Export Award at the Birmingham Post Business Awards and Small Company of the Year Award at the Birmingham Silicon Canal awards in 2018.

Year 2019: We opened our USA office.
With our customer base in North America growing fast, we took the exciting step of opening GuyKat Inc. in Tampa, US. This wasn’t just about opening an office, it was about being closer to our clients, understanding their challenges first-hand, and building lasting partnerships. The launch of GuyKat Inc. marked a new chapter in our journey, from a UK-based company with international reach, to a truly transatlantic business supporting clients on both sides of the ocean.

Year 2021: We got recognised by the Queen!
GuyKat was honoured with the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, one of the highest official UK awards for a business. This recognition was a proud moment for our entire team and we were one of the last companies to recieve this award.

Year 2022: Partnership with FLOWSPARKS
As our clients’ needs grew, so did our vision of what it meant to be a true end-to-end eLearning agency. In 2022, we partnered with FLOWSPARKS, a cutting-edge authoring tool that empowers organisations to create engaging digital learning content themselves. This collaboration meant our clients could benefit not only from GuyKat’s consultancy, design, and platform expertise, but also from the ability to take control of their own content creation with confidence.

Year 2024: Partnership with Colossyan.
We took another bold step into the future of learning by partnering with Colossyan, a leading AI-powered video creation tool. The partnership was officially signed in Rome, unfortunately not over pasta. By combining AI-driven video with our expertise in learning strategy and design, we’re helping organisations unlock new levels of engagement and creativity in their training.
