Founded by Amanda Nurse and Ben Hartley, Carterwood opened its doors in 2008 as an advisory consultancy.
In Amanda’s words “It took me only 8 seconds to decide to go into business with Ben” and within two weeks of discussing the idea the seed of Carterwood was formed.
Over the next two decades (almost) the pair of them grew the company into the industry-leading company we know today.
Carterwood had a strong customer base and position in the industry, but Amanda and Ben wanted to revolutionise the business and the way in which Carterwood solves its customers’ problems. They set about planning the next phase of Carterwood through the integration of technology into a software platform.
Almost a decade in, Ben took a year-long hiatus to create and launch Carterwood Analytics. With zero background in tech and armed with a new software development team and a data scientist, Ben brought the vision to life and launched a user-friendly platform that gives investors, developers, operators, and advisers instant access to critical market data and insights in 2018.
