Sue Pittock OBE, chief executive of Remit Training, said: “With Inspiro’s strong focus on outcomes for learners and high-quality delivery, we believe they will be an excellent home for Remit to continue its journey from here.
“I would like to personally thank Remit’s previous majority shareholder and Chairman, Rob Foulston, for his commitment and dedication to Remit over the last 17 years. It has been hugely rewarding sharing the Remit journey with him, and also of course with all our colleagues at Remit, who, together with Remit’s exceptional clients, have made Remit what it is today – an outstanding training provider.”
Andy Marsh of Beech Tree Private Equity said: “Strategic acquisitions were a key part of our investment in Inspiro, enabling expansion into other sectors and continuing the momentum of the business.
“The shared focus of Remit on high quality support to learners meant this was a natural combination with Inspiro. We look forward to seeing the combined teams continue to grow, invest in technology and innovation and maintain that focus on exceptional delivery.”
