Guildford, England & New York, Dec 05 — Person Centred Software (PCS), the UK’s leading care management software provider serving more than 8,400 care homes, today announces a partnership with Clearcare, the UK’s leading provider of children’s social care software, a new investment from Brighton Park Capital and Nic Humphries, alongside a leadership transition as the company enters its next phase of growth.
Welcoming new investors
The investment from Brighton Park Capital and Nic Humphries will join existing majority investor Cow Corner, which has backed PCS since 2021.
This investment signals Brighton Park Capital’s confidence in PCS’s market position and growth trajectory. The new resources will enable PCS to explore adjacent and complementary technologies while maintaining its focus on core product innovation and delivering measurable quality outcomes for care providers.
The expected impact of this partnership includes accelerated product development, enhanced data analytics and predictive insights capabilities, promising better outcomes for residents, better insights for operators and better value for families.
The investment is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to complete in Q4 2025. Brighton Park Capital Partners Tom Hussey and Jeff Surges will be joining PCS’s Board of Directors as part of this transaction.
Joining forces with Clearcare
PCS has joined forces with Clearcare, bringing together two UK market leaders to serve the full spectrum of residential social care. Clearcare is the UK’s leading provider of children’s social care software, serving over 800 locations in the UK; supporting children’s homes, supported accommodation and semi-independent living settings.
Clearcare continues to operate with its own dedicated team and resources, ensuring both PCS’s elderly care customers and Clearcare’s children’s social care customers receive focused attention and continued innovation in their respective sectors.
Together, PCS and Clearcare form the UK’s leading software group serving the full residential social care sector, from children’s homes through to elderly care.
Leadership transition
As part of this new chapter of growth, Johan Jardevall will step down from his role as Chief Executive Officer. He will remain supporting the business while a search for a new CEO is underway.
