About this business
This Cambridge firm runs professional development courses for local companies and research organisations, covering presentation skills, line management, time management and writing for work. It operates from a leased suburban office with a training room, and a team of 6 handles sales, course design and delivery. Trading since 2016, it has grown turnover each year from £303k in 2021 to £380k. EBITDA has moved the other way, from £68k to £59k, so pricing and course mix would be the first things for a buyer to review. Demand for the courses is clearly rising.
