Fleet, UK » 18 Jan 2012 » Training Press Releases » Learning Technologies and Learning and Skills Exhibitors

SkillSet Ltd has been named as one of the United Kingdom’s (UK) Top 50 UK IT Training Companies.

The list of companies, produced annually by Pardo Fox, ranks SkillSet as the UK’s 40th largest provider of IT training. For the financial year ending in 2010, SkillSet reported IT training revenues of £2.6m in the UK. This represents an increase of 270 per cent on previous year’s figures. The company’s growth has been fuelled by repeat business from existing clients and new business wins across its target market.

This announcement coincides with SkillSet celebrating its 20th successful year of trading.

Paul Deed, director of SkillSet, commented: “2011 was a fantastic year for SkillSet. The company’s inclusion in the 2011 Top 50 UK IT Training Companies list is a great achievement, and one that truly reflects our commitment to our clients. With more and more organisations relying on large and sophisticated enterprise applications, IT training is absolutely crucial, especially in a challenging financial climate where companies need to ensure they can benefit from any systems investment. Good IT training helps end-users to become efficient and effective in their use of enterprise systems, while great IT training creates users who are efficient, effective and engaged. Not only do they know how to use your systems, but they buy into what you are doing and understand the benefits to them and to your business.”

David Pardo, managing director of Pardo Fox commented: “The last few years have been difficult for many IT training providers. It’s good to see companies, such as SkillSet, who have shown such impressive growth. SkillSet’s growth is remarkable – at 270 per cent it is by far the greatest growth demonstrated by any of the organisations ranked on 2011’s Top 50 UK IT Training Companies list.”
