WHY PARTNER WITH KINROCK

What makes us different?

Reasons to partner with Kinrock:

We started out as a training company, which means we understand the challenges of L&D and what it takes in order that e-learning or live training actually achieve real learning outcomes and behavioural change
We also own our own proprietary digitallearning platform (the Kinrock Learning Platform), allowing us to offer a seamless, continously improving learning experience to all learners, whether for self-study e-learning or live online training
Our roots are in training professionals in UK financial services and insurance sectors, which gives us a unique understanding of L&D for regulated sectors in the UK and professional services especially
Though most of our clients are UK companies, we are able to provide our high-quality solutions to any company within EMEA

Acquisitions

Though we aim to grow mostly organically through innovation and great client service, we continue to be open to strategic acquisitions of small B2B training providers in the UK or Europe that can be absorbed into the Kinrock platform
We require that all IP - whether for live online or in-person training or for e-learning courses - be owned by the company
Though we will consider companies that provide only live training (whether live or in-person), valuations will be significantly lower than for companies with meaningful e-learning offerings (especially if combined with a contractual license-based business model)
We are not interested in companies with any meaningful direct or indirect reliance on government funding, such as the UK Apprenticeship Levy
Only a modest transition period required
