SkillSet named as a Top 50 UK IT Training Company
— 8th August 2011, Fleet, UK
SkillSet Ltd today announced that it has been named, for the first time, on Pardo Fox’s Top 50 UK IT Training Companies list.
The 2011 list 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% on 2009’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: “This has been a fantastic year for us so far. Our recent inclusion in the 2011 Top 50 UK IT Training Companies list is a great achievement for us and one that truly reflects our commitment to our clients.
With more and more organisations relying on large and sophisticated enterprise applications, IT training has never been so important. Good IT training helps end-users to become efficient and effective in their use of enterprise systems. Great IT training, on the other hand, 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: “2010 was difficult year for many IT training providers. It’s good to see companies, such as SkillSet, who have shown such impressive growth. SkillSet’s growth in 2010 was remarkable – at 270% it is by far the greatest growth demonstrated by any of the organisations ranked on this year’s Top 50 UK IT Training Companies list.”
