History
Matrix Knowledge was founded in 2005, following a management buyout of MHA (est. 1992) and initially specialised in healthcare consultancy. It has since expanded its work to provide research and consulting, evidence assessments and software services - primarily to the public sector. Their principal markets include health and social care and crime and justice. It works primarily with national governments, international organisations as well as charities and foundations.
In April 2007, Matrix purchased Aspira Communications Ltd and acquired their software 'AspiraHub', which helps gather data for annual reports, CSR reports, Health & Safety data and other purposes. According to advertisements, its prime selling point is its "simple interface for non-IT staff, enabling effective data capture, anaysis and reporting". Although designed primarily for use by private companies, it has now been applied to public sector and charity work. It is currently in use by the City of London Corporation - Fairtrade Steering Group, as fair trade accreditation scheme and by CESMB (Centre for Environment and Safety Management for Business), for their web-based training program.
In 2008, Matrix founded Matrix Knowledge Group International, a US subsidiary with an office near Washington DC in Rockville, Maryland, USA. The US business is focused on developing informatics, analytics and business intelligence tools for public and private sector organisations. Key sectors include: education and healthcare.
In March 2012, R Capital, one of the country's leading specialist investment firms, made a growth investment in Matrix Knowledge, enabling it to develop and grow its advisory, research and technology businesses in UK, continental Europe and USA.
