Middlesbrough training company expands worldwide with £30k funding

A North East training company has announced that it is expanding worldwide after creating a new digital education centre with a £30k grant.

Enterprise Made Simple, based in Middlesbrough, received the £30k grant from Tees Valley Business, the regions’ business support established by the Tees Valley Mayor.

The grant has allowed the business to transform a derelict building in the Riverside Industrial Estate into a new digital education centre.

The company said that the centre is allowing it to expand internationally, training customers in India, Australia and America.

Phil Teasdale, CEO of Enterprise Made Simple, commented: “The objective for us to get this funding and start this huge project was to grow our business, to recruit more people and to offer something that isn’t being offered anywhere else in the world, particularly not in our local area.

“The beauty of receiving this grant is that not only can we have people physically in this building, but we can be live streaming across the world as well.

“This has opened a huge market opportunity for our business and has helped us to grow massively.

“We are now training people in areas as far-flung as India, Australia, and America; people that we would never have been able to reach before.

“This building was just a derelict site and with the help of the Tees Valley Business Growth Fund we’ve been able to transform this space into something that isn’t in existence in the Tees Valley, or the North East.

“The state-of-the-art equipment is the icing on the cake for our business. It will help us grow and, more to the point, it will help us help more people to grow as well.”
