History

The company was founded in 2001 by Andrew Millington and Christopher Crawshay. Exclaimer became an incorporated company in October 2003.

The first Exclaimer products allowed organizations to apply legally compliant disclaimers to corporate email sent by Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook. These were later enhanced to allow for more complex HTML to ensure consistent corporate branding.

On 6 December 2016, Livingbridge invested £23 million in Exclaimer.[1] The investment was advised by PricewaterhouseCoopers and was the last primary investment from Livingbridge 5, the firm's £360m fund raised in 2012.

On 7 December 2020, Insight Partners took a majority stake in Exclaimer, investing over $133 million with participation from Farview Equity Partners and existing investor Livingbridge.[3]

On 9 February 2021, Exclaimer completed the acquisition of Customer Thermometer, a customer satisfaction survey platform.[4]

On 11 October 2021, Exclaimer appointed Marco Costa as its new chief executive following Heath Davies standing down.[5]
