"After the success of opening a Cardiff-based franchise, I wanted to open a second training centre. With a strong service sector and around 90 percent of those employed in Swansea working across professional services, administration, sales and customer services, Swansea was the next clear choice." - Mark Loosemore, Cardiff & Swansea
"My decision to invest and start a Pitman Training franchise came down to two key reasons. The first being Pitman Training’s super brand status, which is widely recognised and acknowledged around the world; and the second was because of the courses they offer and the way in which they offer them. Unlike other training providers, Pitman Training has, in my opinion, a unique offering. Students can learn at their own pace and our flexible approach, which includes evening and weekend openings means the course we offer prove a great attraction for many people and the local business community." - Karen, Stockport & Manchester
