A specialist training provider operating in niche growth markets from their Wirral base has revealed a substantial increase in turnover in the last 12 months.

Blue Sky People Solutions based in Hamilton Square, Birkenhead focuses on developing people from unemployment to management within the sports, security and care sectors respectively.

Ian Mclean, Head of Operations said: “We have enjoyed strong growth in the last two consecutive years reporting turnover of £623,000 in 2010 with growth of 28% in the same period.

"This has been based upon our ability to sustain the quality delivered by the team whilst growing our employer and learner base.

“Our main focus in continuing this consistency throughout 2011 will be to develop further provision in supporting unemployed people into employment providing the relevant skills base.

"We are all about creating sustainable employment for learners.”

As well as changing the fortunes of more than a thousand learners, Blue Sky People Solutions is itself undergoing changes with senior management having developed the opportunity of a MBO.

Mclean added: “This opportunity is the result of two years hard work and follows on from the inspirational leadership under our outgoing managing director Andrew Leathwood."

McLean is now looking forward to “the exciting new changes in the training arena to develop the business nationally.

“We have been given a great opportunity in just two years, to develop a partnership amongst the management team thanks to Andrew.”

It is understood that serial entrepreneur Leathwood is now investing in an opportunity within the communications sector having guided the company to its current status with his knowledge of growing incubator businesses, talent spotting and developing managers and owners of the future.

Mr. Leathwood said: “I’m delighted that Blue Sky People Solutions can now deliver on a national foot print and is the preferred provider for many employers across the UK, both large and small in the sports, security and care industry.”
