September 2023, Knovia acquired Paragon Skills and Tempdent, marking an exciting new chapter for both companies. Since then, they have continued to lead in their respective fields, and under the Knovia banner, they are now even better positioned to drive innovation and meet the evolving demands of vocational training. As part of this journey, Knovia rebranded Paragon Skills’ early years provision to Shaping Lives in November 2024, reinforcing our commitment to supporting excellence in early childhood education. With a well-invested, sustainable, and scalable business model, Knovia is backed by an experienced and ambitious management team, and we look forward to building on this foundation for continued growth and success.
