PatchApp has secured the largest Angel Investment in Lancashire history, signalling a new era for home services.

The UK based fast-growing home services tech platform, has today announced the successful completion of its final Angel Raise—the largest and most successful of its kind ever completed in Lancashire. 

This landmark investment round marks a pivotal moment in the region’s tech and home services landscape, positioning PatchApp as a business to watch.

Founded in 2022, PatchApp has quickly established itself as the go-to platform for booking, paying for, and managing window cleaning and home maintenance services online across the North West, and Yorkshire.

With a mission to make home services seamless and reliable, PatchApp eliminates the hassle of cash payments and unreliable service, serving thousands of paying monthly customers across North Yorkshire, Bradford, Calderdale, Pendle, Ribble Valley, Preston, Chorley, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester.

Founder Paul White, who is an exited Founder of the Modern Milkman said “I’ve known for a long time that the trend for consumers is toward convenience, and that’s what I’ve been working on for the last seven years in total now”.

“I’m really proud that of the 103 Angel Investors in Patch App, 83 per cent of them are from within an hour of our head office in Burnley, Lancashire. It’s been a long, hard slog but people have believed in our team. We knew a fund wasn’t the right approach for us, so we did it a different way.

 “We were determined to build this business outside of a city and people told us that was impossible, but we’ve done that. Outside of the frameworks of the city-centric Angel Groups, we’ve built our own significant Angel Network, which will now go on to do other great things. It has been a tough old slog, but I think the scale of it is testament to the belief in what we are building”.

The business also has a strong sense of social responsibility, exclusively employing Armed Forces Veterans, and establishing a Community Fund to support organisations in the communities it serves.

Conor Walsh, co-founder, added “We’ve seen some really strong growth with the brand becoming well established. We’ve built the businesses on a tiny head office team, concentrating on revenue generation and profitability, whilst focussing on strong growth. We grew our customer base by 20 per cent last week alone, and now we’re looking at where we go geographically over the next 12 months”. 

PatchApp launched v2 of it’s proprietary tech two weeks ago, which automates business operations, improves the customer experience, allows the businesses to launch it’s additional services online and will support over 100 Armed Forces Veterans into work over the next three years.

The business will now be revalued based on its new technology, revenue generation and growth, before launching its final raise; an equity crowdfund.
