Wetherby training firm Pitman gets territorial

WETHERBY firm Pitman Training Group has expanded their franchisee network to Gibraltar.

The independent training provider has signed on an established company in the British Overseas Territory to join their framework.

The firm opened the doors on its new training centre in the Iberian Peninsula last week, in conjunction with P&B Training, which have joined Pitman as a franchisee, offering Pitman training courses in financial services, social media, Spanish language, customer and management development.

Wetherby based, Pitman Training Group managing director, Claire Lister said: We’re very excited to announce the recent launch of a Pitman Centre in Gibraltar.

“This is an incredibly interesting market – only 3sq miles geographically, and with a population of only 30,000 residents, but with a market worth in excess of £1 billion. Main markets come from tourism, online gaming businesses, and the financial services sector.

“The market is therefore vibrant and there are many opportunities for training and development both for the resident population but also for the individuals who come across the border from Spain each day to work.

“Our new partners have an excellent range of business and training skills, and are already well established in the region. We are confident that they will make a tremendous success of the business, and will provide excellent support to private and corporate clients alike.”

Pitman Training Group has been focused on global expansion and has recently signed agreements in Nigeria, Zimbabwe and the Cayman Islands.
