Learning NewsQA

According to the 5th IT Skills Research ‘Top50’ published by Pardo Fox in July 2003, Xpertise’s revenues grew by 180% making them the fastest growing training company in 2002.

According to Pardo Fox, Xpertise Training was in the minority of companies surveyed who saw an increase in revenues.

The 180% increase in turnover to £11.5M moved Xpertise up 16 places into the top 20 UK training services providers, at a time when many companies were reporting falls in IT Training revenues.

“I am delighted with the results of this research” commented Bob Bradley, CEO of Xpertise. “It vindicates the strength of our team and the validity of our strategy. Whilst much of the growth was through planned acquisition, the existing business grew organically by 5.1% confirming our growing market leadership position.”

“We now offer the broadest range of accredited training in the business, coupled with extended geographic reach, making it easy and natural for the customer to buy from us. We combine this with instructors who have real world experience and a sales team focused on understanding and addressing our customers’ business needs. All in all we provide reliable quality, good value and professional service.”
