Congratulations and looking forward to seeing what comes next at Orangebox Training Solutions Limited … well done to Simon Corbett and his team. What a journey. 👏🏻👏🏻
After years of hard work, dedication, and countless lessons learned, our CEO Simon Corbett is proud to share that he’s completed the sale of the Orangebox Training Solutions group.
What started with no staff, no clients, and just an idea has grown into something we’re all truly proud of, a business that’s made a real difference to people’s lives and attracted genuine interest from buyers over the years.
Simon has always said he’d only sell if the right opportunity came along, one that felt completely aligned with the companies values, standards, and culture. And this was exactly that opportunity.
Orangebox Training Solutions group has been acquired by Coniston Peak Ltd and Simon will be working closely with Alex Glasner and Anne Wright as we continue to grow together in partnership with Workpays, a fantastic organisation we’ve already been working with successfully for over a year.
Simon says the CEO seat can be a lonely one at times, but this next chapter is about collaboration, shared purpose, and growth. Together, we share one common goal: making a difference for people, our staff, learners, partners, and clients.
Simon wanted to say a huge thank you to the incredible team at Orangebox. None of this would have been possible without them. They are all amazing, their passion, resilience, and commitment have been at the heart of everything we’ve achieved together.
A special thanks as well to Mike Williams, Lee Humble, Jamie Hepworth, and the team at Azets, and to our lawyer Dan Flounders at Jacksons Law for their outstanding support and guidance throughout this process.
Simon is incredibly proud to be from Hartlepool, and to have built a business here that’s earned recognition and interest from outside the area. The future is bright, and we can’t wait to see what we achieve together.
