Dorset-based learndirect Digital Group has made its sixth acquisition as health and safety training specialists AT&F solutions join the growing business.

The move strengthens learndirect’s position in the B2B space with the provision of online training which adheres to UK health and safety legislation.

It will also seek to expand its course offering to existing clients of AT&F, helping them upskill staff across various industries.

Wayne Janse van Rensburg, CEO at learndirect, said: “We’re delighted to bring AT&F Solutions into the group.

“AT&F has developed a strong customer base over the past 25 years and additional demand is expected across the UK driven by increasing regulatory requirements.

“At learndirect, we take great pride in providing online education directly to individuals looking to better their lives, and now we can feed that passion into meeting the needs of businesses seeking high quality training solutions.”

The acquisition was supported by Queen’s Park Equity.

Terry Breslin, Managing Direct of AT&F Solutions, added: “We’re super excited to be joining learndirect, a true market leader in the ever-changing world of eLearning.

“AT&F Solutions Ltd has been specialising in ‘compliance health and safety’ for 25 years and during this time we have grown substantially, focusing on key topics to help fulfil our client’s growing needs.

“However, in order support and expand a wider range of services our strength will come from this unique partnership adding to the expertise of the group, along with offering a wider portfolio to all our clients.”
