Develop UK 2005 Limited
About Us
From 1 September 2006 Develop UK has been renamed and re-branded, "THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY".
Stuart Klein (Managing Director) formed Develop UK in 1992 to provide training and development for organisations, enabling them to improve their performance, by developing their pepole. Over the period of our existence we have developed over 3000 people and enabled them to add £millions to their 'bottom-line'.
The Leadership Academy has its Headquarters in Sheffield but is quickly developing a national structure, to support its delivery across the UK. We currently work in England, Scotland and Wales. Professional and client focused training and business development solutions are provided through practical approaches from experienced and business related people.
Our core activity is business and management development at all levels, from hands-on staff, through to Senior Management, with responsibility for strategy.
“One of our main beliefs is that people performing well in their job should be recognised. We have ensured that our Development Programmes also carry National recognition for the Individual. In essence, Employees improve the business and get a Nationally recognised Certificate!!”
Quote from Stuart Klein, MD
We are a Registered Centre for a number of Awarding Bodies, including ILM, OCR and EDEXCEL. Currently we are able to offer over 35 qualifications, across the main business activity areas.
We also deliver non-accredited Programmes, aimed at assisting Organisations to improve their performance by improving their Employees, to increase their contribution.
“ There is a great correlation between individual improvement and Organisational improvement. We work on both fronts and at times see quite spectacular results!”
Quote from Rick Franckeiss, Senior Partner
