Keeping up with the latest developments in private companies can be overwhelming. With news articles covering everything from strategic expansions to leadership changes, finding the most relevant updates quickly has always been a challenge — until now.

At Beauhurst, we’re making news more actionable and insightful with our new News Topics feature. Powered by machine learning, News Topics automatically categorises non-transaction news articles, making it easier than ever for users to track key events and uncover opportunities.

Why we built News Topics

Historically, searching for company news on Beauhurst required either digging through entire news articles or setting up broad, catch-all alerts — neither of which provided the precision users needed.

So we thought about how we could make news coverage more useful, searchable, and insightful for our users

The answer? Utilising AI to tag news articles with relevant topics — instantly surfacing what matters most.

How it works

Our ML model scans the content of each news article and assigns it a relevant topic label, such as:

  • Key people change – Leadership hires, executive departures, or board reshuffles.
  • New product or service – Product launches, service rollouts, or market entries.
  • New property – Office openings, factory expansions, or new headquarters.

These labels now appear directly on Company Timelines, in Advanced Search Criteria, and in Collection Email Alerts, allowing users to:

  • Search for specific news topics instead of wading through generic news mentions.
  • Gain instant insights into a company’s trajectory - without having to read every article.
