The Experiential Learning Group (TELG), a UK training provider based in Nottingham, has been acquired by Alchemist Group, the private equity-backed parent company of a portfolio of learning brands.
TELG has supported over 300,000 professionals across more than 60 countries, assisting them in developing leadership, communication and enterprise-level sales capabilities.
The firm serves a global base including FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, as well as a number of the largest international law firms, operating through the PCA, PCA Law and Youd Andrews brands.
Joe Fredericks, Chief Executive of TELG, commented: "This marks a pivotal new chapter for our brands and clients. The demand for immersive learning has never been higher. Clients have been asking for high-impact experiential learning across human-centred leadership and sales.“
"Together, the brands will deliver a broader, more integrated suite of experiential learning solutions to help organisations thrive in today’s complex, high-stakes business environment."
BTG served as corporate finance advisers to the TELG shareholders. BTG Deal Advisory Director Emma Jones said: "It is evident that the combined skillsets and scale of TELG and Alchemist will be of great benefit to their clients as they seek to build on an already excellent reputation within the training and development space.
Jones continued that the deal was not only significant for the companies involved, but also for the wider industry they operate in, adding that the combined group “has significant potential for progress”
The acquisition, which builds on Alchemist Group’s 2024 takeover of RAIN Group, was supported by the group’s sponsor, Horizon Capital.
Alchemist Group CEO Stuart Packham said that the deal significantly deepened the group’s capacity to provide behaviour-based experiential learning at scale, would generate complementary strengths across its portfolio and give clients access to immersive development programmes.
