Hide AdAndy Parker, Capita’s joint chief operating officer, said: “This will add value to the range of services we supply to the justice and emergency services sector, particularly since the acquisition of the Fire Service College.
“G2G3’s expertise will allow us to simulate a large fire, a riot, a nuclear emergency or a terrorist attack, as part of the training we provide to senior police, ambulance and fire officers.
“But ‘gamification’ also has much wider applications in making training in traditional disciplines more effective.”
G2G3 has 26 employees. The size of the deal was not disclosed.
Capita employs about 4,000 in Scotland and 52,500 in the UK, Europe, India and South Africa.
