Kingdom Services Group has completed its purchase of Dutton Fisher Associates Ltd, a national provider of training and apprenticeship provision to the social housing sector.
The company, along with Kingdom Training, has been rebranded as Kingdom Academy.
Kingdom says it will be a soft transition and business as usual for the Dutton Fisher customers, learners, and colleagues – but with all the benefits that Kingdom can provide, which include wider “one stop” service capabilities, working synergies, specialist knowledge, and customer and people solutions that come from being part of a 7,000+ colleague and £250 million turnover organisation operating across a UK-wide office network.
Dutton Fisher Directors and Business Owners Paul Dutton and Jo Fisher will continue to lead the company along with the existing SMT.
Commenting on the acquisition, Terry Barton, CEO of Kingdom Services Group, said: “Training is at the very forefront of every company within the Kingdom Group. Having the expertise of Paul and Jo to lead our Kingdom Academy company makes us even stronger as a business but also makes Kingdom a serious training provider to support our existing and new customer needs. That is a serious proposition indeed along with all the other fantastic services we provide.
“I welcome Paul, Jo, and their team into Kingdom. Dutton Fisher is an excellent business with values that match our own and this is another exciting acquisition completed early in 2023 that supports our 2023 ambitions.
“My team will support Paul and Jo in achieving their own aspirations and with a seamless integration to ensure we absorb the very best of both companies.”
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management is pleased to launch the 2023 waste management and recycling survey which examines the ways in which FMs approach their waste management responsibilities.
In this, the sixth year for the annual appraisal, we know there is a greater opportunity than ever for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and help their organisations meet the growing pressure to achieve ESG goals.
We want to learn how FMs have adapted to the legislative, economic and societal changes of the past year and how they plan to meet the latest waste and recycling targets.
In this survey we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, how they’re moving towards zero waste targets, and the importance of not just meeting compliance targets but also ESG goals.
The results of the 2023 survey will be published in FMJ magazine and form the basis of a white paper co-written by FMJ and the experts at Grundon on how to approach waste and recycling strategies.
