Newcastle’s Gradvert in Midlands expansion
Newcastle-headquartered training provider Gradvert is increasing its national reach with new appointments and an expansion to the Midlands.
Newly-appointed sales and marketing director Perry Deakin will head up the Gradvert Midlands team, with support from John Wilkins and Samantha Thompson.
Originally a graduate recruitment business, Gradvert has grown into a training provider working with an increasing roster of national clients including Tiger Retail and Go-Ahead, since forming in 2012.
Michaela Reaney, founder of the business, says that taking up a lease on an office in Blythe Valley Business Park, Solihull, was a very easy decision for the firm.
She explained: “We have seen really rapid expansion in the Midlands, and have started to see more and more opportunities in the area.
“John and Samantha’s appointments will galvanise our position, and build upon the fantastic work Perry has done in the months since he joined.
“We see vast potential in the area and believe the encouraging start we have seen is just the beginning of genuine and sustainable growth here.”
Michaela added: “We have exciting, ambitious plans for expansion in the Midlands and I am sure that with the appointment of Perry, John and Samantha, and the commitment we have taken in securing office space, we will realise our undoubted potential.”
