Weightmans advises digital fund on maiden investment

LAW Firm Weightmans has advised the £15m digital and creative pot of the new £185m North West Fund on its first investment.

The fund has invested in Autology World – a Cheshire-based company which provides personalised learning tools for educational institutions.

Weightmans’ commercial director John Schorah said: “It is great to see the Digital & Creative fund take off with its first investment.

“There is clearly a healthy level of market activity across the North West – not just within the digital and creative sector, but across those covered by the five other funds too.”
