The group has been seeking to diversify its revenue in the wake of slowing demand for outsourcing, due to weak economic conditions and regulatory changes in the industry.

In its half-year to end June, it had said its training cluster contributed 25% to total earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation , compared to 17% in the prior period. This had been partially due to its acquisition of specialist training company Dyna in June 2018.
