2023 – A record year for Upgraded People AB

The year 2023 has been a record year for Upgraded People AB, which presents a turnover growth of 51% and turnover for the full year of 1,058 million sek (701 million sek). During the year, we have worked intensively to diversify the service offering, strengthen collaborations and improve the customer experience. Looking at the last three years, the turnover growth is 322%.

Going against the grain and being able to present such strong growth in the weaker economic climate that has characterized 2023 feels fantastic and is proof of the competence and driving force that exists in the organization, says Birgitta Hedegård, CEO of Upgraded People AB.
