Sunderland-based workforce technology provider Workprove has moved into new offices at Doxford International Business Park as part of its expansion plans.

This year the company secured a total of £450,000 in funding from Northstar Ventures’ Venture Sunderland Fund and £250,000 from Maven CP, while last year, it secured £150,000 from Creative UK’s North East Fund and a further £50,000 from angel investors.

This major investment is being used to accelerate growth by recruiting across product development and sales and marketing roles, and in moving into offices large enough for its expanding team – with room to grow further.

Workprove is effective in any highly-regulated industry where it can simplify compliance, reduce admin and build safer workplaces.

Organisations benefitting from Workprove are from a range of sectors, including construction, manufacturing, food and beverage production, transport and logistics, social care and education.

Founded in 2013 by chief executive Gordon MacPherson and chief technology officer John Dunnill, Workprove has evolved from a small startup employing a team of three into an international workforce technology provider employing 12 people.

Emma Antunes, head of marketing at Workprove, explained: “We’ve rebranded from Moralbox to Workprove, had a major recruitment drive, developed a new website and are now working hard to spread the word about our amazing products.

“Our move to new offices at Doxford Park is to future proof further expansion – there’s plenty of space to grow into when we need to. They’re great offices with some brilliant shared spaces, while we’re right next to the A19 and on major bus routes, so the connectivity is impressive too.”

Gordon added: “Our new offices have everything we need and the growing team is happy here. Our roots are in Sunderland as are most of our team, so we were always looking at Wearside for a new home.”

The company offers three core products. Workprove is a software platform designed to support organisations across multiple sectors with training and compliance management. It enables businesses to move away from fragmented spreadsheets and manual processes, bringing all records into one secure, centralised system. With real-time visibility, automated tracking, and instant reporting, Workprove saves significant administrative time while ensuring organisations are always audit-ready.

Workpass is its mobile companion app, featuring a QR tag that allows employees to quickly and securely share their training and compliance records on demand. CourseCloud connects employers, employees, and training providers in one seamless platform, with full integration back into both Workprove and Workpass for a unified, end-to-end experience.

Clients are in the UK, Australia and the US in sectors including: construction, manufacturing, food and beverage production, transport and logistics, social care and education.
