Ilkeston-based training company Upskill is expanding overseas after winning contacts in Malaysia and Dubai.
Upskill has signed a formal agreement with the Open University of Malaysia, based in the capital Kuala Lumpur and with 60 educational centres nationwide that will use its management development programmes. The initial contract is worth £60,000, but Upskill, which is ran by brothers Frank and Mick Dunne, said there is significant potential for growth.
The company has also won a second international contract with Al Futtaim Carillion – an organisation based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and jointly owned with major British support services and construction company Carillion – to train senior managers on high-profile projects.
It has been our experience, during the past 20 years, that education is big in those parts of the world. We see a lot of franchised education offers in our international expansion business.
