Rockpool Investments Partners with Harley Academy

Harley Academy has received investment from Rockpool Investments, which typically provides funding of between £5m and £15m to profitable UK-based private companies.

Harley Academy is a leading aesthetics training and clinic business at the forefront of a fast-growing market segment in the UK.

Harley is the only integrated, non-surgical aesthetic medicine training and clinic business in the UK to offer training courses and treatments administered by qualified practitioners and trainees. The company is an advocate for quality, safe treatments administered by medical professionals and the Company works within the guidelines and recommendations from the Department of Health and Social and Care Committee and the wider UK government to ensure safe practice throughout aesthetics.

Harley is led by its founder and CEO Tristan Mehta and supported by a highly experienced management team and board advisory panel, who contribute experience, contacts, and public profile in the medical aesthetics sector.

The investment will assist Harley to accelerate its impressive growth journey and take advantage of the anticipated introduction of regulation, driving demand for high-quality training and qualifications.

I am excited to announce this £8 million investment from Rockpool Investments, a testament to the hard work from our team over the years. This partnership will enable us to accelerate our mission of providing exceptional education and training, ultimately driving up standards and patient safety.
