In recent years, the government has made a firm commitment to improving the skills of the UK workforce, with major investment in training initiatives.
This has attracted an increasing number of institutional investors looking to buy well-run, predominantly government-funded training businesses. Investors like the fact that these companies have solid and stable revenues (often under long-term, secure contracts), there is room for growth as a result of the projected increase in government funding, and the market’s fragmentation means consolidation opportunities are many.
