Training firm unveils new-look centre after six-figure revamp

Develop has lifted the lid on its new-look Derby training centre following a £500,000 refurbishment.

The firm, which is an accredited provider of compliance, technical, and safety training, has upgraded classrooms with state-of-the-art technology and refurbished the centre’s offices.

The initial 16-week refurbishment project, made possible thanks to the investment from Develop and its parent company JTL, also involved modernising the centre’s communal spaces including the reception, café, toilets, and breakout areas.

Phase two of the project will involve a full refurbishment of all the practical training facilities and additional classrooms.

This will allow Develop to deliver more courses for local and nationwide businesses covering a range of compliance and safety training across a number of industries including construction, defence, facilities management, healthcare, telecommunication, and utilities.

Matthew Gray, operations manager at Develop, said: “We couldn’t be happier with the results of the refurbishment of our Derby centre so far, as we are now able to offer our delegates cutting-edge technology and facilities as a result of the upgrades.

“Looking ahead, we are excited to progress the project further when we start phase two.

“This is the second training centre we’ve upgraded this year and the investment made by Develop demonstrates our commitment to providing high-quality training to delegates and businesses delivered by our expert trainers.”
