Introducing our new Managing Director
We're happy to share the news that we've appointed Claire Lee as our new Managing Director this month (January 2023).
Claire says: “The Learning Foundry’s aim is to give everyone the opportunity to shine, grow and thrive. I’ve worked in the education and skills sector for 20 years and will bring all of my knowledge and experience into upskilling businesses and supporting the incredible local people we work with. I’m really excited to get started.”
We have over 25 years’ experience in delivering training and apprenticeships. Training includes aspirational programmes that maximise employability opportunities and tackle skills gaps, with a focus on supporting everyone into meaningful paid work. Apprenticeships support businesses with their growth plans and help local people into paid work with fantastic opportunities for the future.
Stephanie Harrison, Executive Director – Operations and Customer Service, at The Regenda Group which The Learning Foundry is part of, said: “We’re thrilled to have Claire join us as the new Managing Director of The Learning Foundry. Claire brings a history of driving business growth in the education and training sector. I’m looking forward to working together to continue to deliver inspiring and engaging training and employment programmes and making talent shine.”
Joanne Abraham, former Managing Director of The Learning Foundry, will be taking some time away from the role for personal reasons. With a history in teaching, Joanne will step into a Development Coach role to work with learners for the foreseeable future.
