Adrian’s vision of excellence in learning and skills delivery has evolved during his 16 years with esg portfolio company stl (previously Sheffield Trainers Limited), where he was the majority shareholder.

Adrian has transformed stl from a six strong team turning over £250k into a beacon of innovation and quality in the UK’s adult learning sector. stl now employs over 175 staff and has a turnover in excess of £10m.

Achieving Adrian’s ‘vision’ has seen stl partner with venture capitalists Sovereign Capital to create the Employability and Skills Group. The group has grown quickly through acquisition and organic growth to achieve £30m turnover and now employs over 525 staff across its four delivery companies: stl, sencia, orient and triangle.
