Training firm extends North West reach, with UK-wide ambitions in the wings

HybridTec's Liverpool training centre

A Liverpool training provider is expanding by opening new centres across the North West, including in Cumbria and Greater Manchester.

HybridTec – which in August secured £1m-worth of funding in partnership with Back to Work Complete Training from the Department for Education – says the news is part of its plans for a nationwide expansion.

As specialists in energy training and the green agenda, HybridTec will aim to fill the immediate skills gap in these areas.

The company has also agreed a partnership with Cumbria LEP and will provide the first renewable energy skills bootcamp in the region.

HybridTec is also targeting additional areas including Greater London, West Midlands, and North of the Tyne, with the intention to establish a site in these regions by August 2023.

Managing director, Sophie Gilmore, said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for HybridTec as we expand our services across the North West.

“It’s our mission to help more businesses across the country achieve their objectives, and this expansion will enable us to do this and deliver our programme efficiently further afield in other regions.”

She added: “We will continue to invest and expand across the UK, offering first class training for adults and young people, and creating an exciting place for the next generation of tradespeople to learn, to be inspired, and to upskill.”

Amanda Wharton, skill bootcamp programme manager at Cumbria LEP, said: “I welcome HybridTec’s engagement which supports Cumbira LEP’s commitment to supporting green careers and jobs that directly contribute to achieving net zero targets.”

Established in 2005, HydridTec delivers accredited, industry-led training in gas, plumbing, electrical and green energy to build a future workforce.

As a specialist in energy training and the green training agenda, the firm has recently accelerated its expansion plans, addressing the skills gap in today’s tradespeople and preparing a future workforce in line with the Government’s mission of reducing carbon emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050.
