New hires boost consultancy at Epic

Epic Group plc, the UK market leader in e-learning, blended learning and knowledge solutions, has made two key appointments to its fast-growing consultancy team.

Alec Keith and James Cory-Wright were both previously with Knowledgepool as, respectively, Head of Operations and Strategic Development, and Creative Director. They have been taken on to further strengthen Epic's highly successful learning consultancy team, which is experiencing growing demand for its services.

Epic has seen a significant rise in consultancy, indicating clients' strategic intent on e-learning and the spread of blended learning. These appointments will allow Epic to service this enhanced demand, and to facilitate the future development of this increasingly important part of the group's portfolio of products and services.

Alec Keith has been involved in learning design, development and delivery, including technology-based training, since 1983. At Knowledgepool and previously at PA Consulting, he was worked at high level with clients such as DfES, Lloyds TSB, National College for School Leadership, Prudential, RBS and Tesco.

James Cory-Wright has over 18 years experience of designing and delivering technology-based learning solutions. He has a background in video scriptwriting and instructional design, plus extensive project management experience for clients such as BBC, Department for Education and Skills, Department for Trade & Industry, British Airways, LIFFE, Lloyds TSB, UNICEF, IDeA, ATOC, Learn Direct, Nestle and the Prudential.

Matthew Fox, Director of Solutions, Epic Group plc, said: 'We're delighted to have Alec and James join us as Learning Consultants. Along with their great track record in the industry, they bring excellent knowledge and skills to build our capability in offering valuable learning-based solutions to our clients. Their addition to our consulting team gives us strength in depth to offer both strategic and tactical help to all our clients.'
