Case Study: Inspire Education Group achieves seamless merger integration and unified internal communications with Happeo

Inspire Education Group uses Happeo to bring people together in a successful merge

Inspire Education Group, formed by the merger of Peterborough Regional College and New College Stamford (1,200 employees serving 10,000 students), faced fragmented, static intranets and inconsistent communication across the new organisation. To unite culture, improve leadership visibility and reduce email overload and time spent searching for information, Inspire Education Group selected Happeo (integrated with Google Workspace) as their internal communications platform.

Happeo was rolled out quickly and used immediately as a COVID-19 resource centre, with support from Happeo and C-Learning. By leveraging Happeo’s Google Workspace integration, Channels, easy-to-design Pages and rich analytics, Inspire Education Group achieved instant adoption, improved cross-college collaboration, increased leadership visibility, reduced internal emails and search time, and gained measurable insight into communications and staff wellbeing—demonstrating clear ROI from the Happeo implementation.
