Leep Group acquires E.Quality Training to boost support for NEETs

Leep Group has acquired E.Quality Training Limited, a vocational training provider based in Stone, Staffordshire. 

The company runs three training centres in Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford.

E.Quality Training supports young people aged 16 to 19 who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), with qualifications in childcare, health and social care, and beauty. 

After a transition period, E.Quality Training will join the back to work division at Leep Group, which runs employability, skills and training programmes across the UK.

Luke Muscat, CEO at Leep Group, said: “We’re delighted to welcome E.Quality Training into Leep Group. 

“The team has built an outstanding reputation over more than 25 years for supporting young people to achieve recognised qualifications and progress into meaningful careers, and their values and commitment to learner success closely align with our own.

“Too many young people are finding themselves without the opportunities or support they need to take their next step.”

Muscat added: “By bringing E.Quality Training into the Group, we’re strengthening our ability to help more young people build confidence, gain valuable skills and move into education, employment or apprenticeships.
