Artgym merges with Sanctus Group – an international business dedicated to Culture, Coaching and Mentoring.
Since 2004, Artgym has earned an international reputation for its award-winning leadership, learning and culture transformation programmes, working with high-profile clients such as Adidas, AXA, and Rexel.
Artgym have now merged with ScaleUp Capital portfolio company Sanctus Group, bringing together complementary strengths across leadership development, workplace coaching, cultural transformation and technology-enabled mentoring. This combined capability enables organisations to better unlock the potential of their people and build cultures that support high performance and lasting change.
Why Merge – and Why Now
Today’s leaders face unprecedented pressure to adapt, learn and grow at the speed of change. Yet research shows that over 60% of transformation initiatives fail to achieve their objectives.
Success demands more than strategy – it requires people who are inspired, empowered and connected.
By bringing together leadership development, performance coaching, culture change and mentoring technology under one group, Sanctus Group is uniquely positioned to help organisations build resilient, agile and purpose-driven cultures that thrive in fast-moving environments.
Eugene Hughes (Artgym Founder and CEO): “Since starting Artgym around my kitchen table 21 years ago, the world of work has changed dramatically, but our mission has stayed the same: to ignite the power of people creating together. The merger with Sanctus amplifies this mission. Even as cognitive technologies accelerate, it’s how people think, feel and behave at work that ultimately drives results. By combining our behavioural-science methodology with world-class coaching and mentoring technology, we are better positioned to help our clients build the future of work – where people and performance thrive together.”
Stephen Read (Sanctus Group CEO): “Through the merger with Artgym, we’re uniting culture transformation, coaching and mentoring technology – exactly what organisations need when their people are navigating change at speed. We’re hugely excited for this next chapter in our growth.”
