How did you start your company?
The company was started in 2004 by Peter Ely. Peter has a background in project management and found it frustrating to find skilled, qualified and safe staff when he needed them. So the idea of a company that could provide a total solution for training was born. At the time ecommerce was still pretty new so PSS was one of the first to offer a place online to buy training UK wide that we offered through partnerships with local training centres.
That has since grown and now we deliver our own training UK wide at rented meeting rooms in places like hotels and golf clubs. We wanted to have more control over the venue our delegates were learning in and so we found The Nucleus Centre.
What are you working on at the moment?
We are working to expand the range of courses we offer in Dartford and other locations. Improving resources available for our delegates and we are in the early stages of a supporting app for delegates to use on their phones with revision materials they can access wherever they are.
What do you like about The Nucleus?
It’s a great location, ideal for a lot of our delegates plus the look of the building and atmosphere when you are there is great. Really maintains our image of a professional company and is a great environment to learn in. The staff have been very friendly and helpful too!
What ambitions/projects do you have for the future of your company?
The app we are starting to work on is a big and exciting project for us, it’ll be focussed towards the NEBOSH course we offer which can be quite daunting (it’s a 12 day course). Having seen how nervous delegates can be about their exam we want to make it really easy to revise, and that means making something that can fit around a busy lifestyle, plus we want to make it fun and interactive with challenges set on the app for the whole group. We already see some great interaction in their online portal we know training is easier when it’s social!
In the grander scheme we will continue to grow the amount of courses we offer making it easy for companies and individuals to work safely and progress in their careers.
