Derby-based training firm Nine Dots Development has reached a £2 million annual turnover in its tenth year of operation. Founded in 2016 by Jordan Burke and James Davison, the company has grown from a £73,000 first-year turnover to working with global clients including BAE Systems, Fred Perry, Scania, and Associated Press.
The company employs 25 staff and a network of 50 consultants delivering management training, apprenticeships, and leadership development to organisations across the UK and overseas. Nine Dots is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute for Leadership and Management, and is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
Its expansion has been driven by the continued demand for professional development and leadership training following the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy in 2017. The business has delivered programmes in markets including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, and the United States.
Nine Dots’ portfolio covers leadership, management, HR, and emotional intelligence training, with a focus on helping employers develop effective leaders and teams. The company’s founders aim to build on its international growth and strengthen partnerships with employers seeking to improve workforce capability and performance.
