In a rapidly changing world where the desire to learn and improve has never been stronger, but education is becoming unstructured and disrupted by the internet, Captured is pioneering the philosophy of shared learning. We help teachers/coaches/managers to empower their learners to take ownership of their own development with a unique and engaging set of tools within a web and mobile platform.

The founder of Captured, Sir Clive Woodward, pioneered this philosophy and put it into practice with the World Cup winning England Rugby Team, as well as with Team GB during their historic performance at London 2012. Captured is the digital tool he wishes he had during those events. As Chairman of Captured, Sir Clive works day to day alongside the team in the office, and Captured’s active board of directors include Dan Cobley, former MD of Google UK, and Manoj Badale, a serial technology entrepreneur.

In just 18 months, Captured has already found its place on the centre stage in sport, being used by worldleading athletes and coaches, and partnering with sports organisational giants such as The FA, PGA and the International Olympic Committee. More recently, the corporate and education marketplace has come into focus, working with M&S, Sainsbury’s and various schools, proving Captured is a development tool set to revolutionise the way we learn in sport, business and education.
