Catherine de Salvo, co-founder of Scott Bradbury Ltd, says “We first met Peter from Prism at a local financial services seminar and we felt he was the right fit to help us sell Scott Bradbury. The sale process went very smoothly. We’re thrilled to have found a great new home for the business with Be-A Education. We are looking forward to enabling our respective clients to take advantage of the new opportunities afforded by this acquisition and to continuing to provide high quality learning for all.”

Ian McClelland, CEO of Be-A Education, says “We were impressed with Scott Bradbury Ltd’s long history of providing high quality learning resources to UK businesses. We think their focus on personal and professional development skills is a perfect complement to our own Staff Skills Academy.”

Peter Watson, Managing Director of Prism, says “It was fortuitous meeting Catherine and Hugh at the local seminar. It has been a pleasure working with them and we are delighted to have helped them find the right buyer with such strong synergies.”
