Huveaux, who recently purchased e-learning company the Epic Group, have reported a very interesting set of results. Turnover is up 92% to £27.7m (primarily from acquisitions) with organic growth a very respectable 12.5%, although sales in Epic’s learning divisions rose by a more modest 6%. Turnover within Huveaux Learning was £11.2m and the group, which consists of Epic, Lonsdale (revision guides), WEX (civil service training), TJ (training magazine), Traineractive (online training library) and Fenman (training and events) now has over 200 employees. The 2006 highlights were:
-
35 new Key Stage 4 science titles from Lonsdale
-
Online assessment (Lonsdale and Epic)
-
An expansion of the Epic franchise (consultancy and development of a generic portfolio focusing on Leadership and Compliance)
-
An expected return to profits for Fenman after its restructure
