Zodiac Training has an outstanding track record of growing people to grow business and our work with thousands of learners and employers has had a tangible, positive impact on the region.

“Our core strength is our flexibility of delivery combined with our wide range of services – from NVQ and Apprenticeship qualifications through to our work with schools, young achievers and those looking for re-entry to work. I look forward building upon the tremendous success we have had over the years and guiding the business to further growth.”

Lilian Mains added, “As the company goes from strength to strength I am delighted to have been able to appoint an individual of Jonathan’s calibre to Managing Director of Zodiac Training. These are tremendous times for the company; year on year we are seeing an increase in learners, in success rates and in turnover.
