UNIHEAD LIMITED

What UNIHEAD LIMITED does

Unihead Limited (Unihead Group Limited) is a privately held Research, Advisory and Integrated Knowledge Management firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in London, with operations centered in Ghana. It is structured into six divisions — Education, Business Advisory, Policy Advisory, Publishing, Events & Global Networking, and Management Support — delivering a constellation of services including education consulting, curriculum and teacher training, e-learning and digital library reselling, infrastructure and manufacturing advisory, policy advocacy, international development consulting, magazines and career publications, and conferences and exhibitions.

The technology layer is centered on Education Technology (EDUTECH) and content distribution rather than proprietary software development. The firm resells or co-delivers digital and physical library content through partnerships with ProQuest, Kortext, Net Dragon, Promethean, OCE-Canon, and Gresswell, providing access to roughly 90,000 authoritative sources, 6 billion digital pages, 5 million physical book titles, and 400,000 e-book titles for West African institutions. It also offers cloud and IT infrastructure services for schools but does not appear to develop its own platforms.

The business model is professional services revenue at quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Unihead uses a sales-led, enterprise field-sales motion targeting government agencies (Ghana Education Service, Ministry of Education, municipal assemblies), universities (Takoradi Technical University), financial institutions (Exim Bank), corporates (Sentuo Group), and NGOs (Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association). The firm has no disclosed external funding, no public revenue, and operates with a six-person core team supported by a high-credential board and on-demand consultants.
