A County Durham-based training group has secured investment from a buyout by a London-based firm.

Agilitas has completed a buyout of Learning Curve Group (LCG), enabling the exit of current equity partner MML Capital.

The investment will enable the creation of new jobs at Learning Curve Group’s County Durham headquarters.

Brenda McLeish, CEO at Learning Curve Group, commented: “We’re excited to join forces with Agilitas as we embark upon the next stage of our growth plans.

“MML has been a fantastic partner who has supported us over the last 5 years, seeing us grow significantly and move into our amazing new HQ.

“Our executive management team will stay with Learning Curve and be instrumental in delivering our growth aspirations along with our fantastic workforce.”

Liam Goddard of Agilitas Private Equity, added “It has been a pleasure working with such a talented management team to develop a transformation plan to bring the exceptional education they offer to a much wider audience.

“Learning Curve Group is a truly incredible company, built by staff working together to create an environment to support learners reach their goals. Learning Curve is a quality provider in the growing further education and training market and we look forward to supporting the growth of the business.”
