Reset attracts Townsend
Sheffield-based Reset Training has attracted more than £200,000 from Boroughbridge businessman Ian Townsend, together with two other private investors.
And Reset said that former Medical House chairman Townsend is "ready to invest more as the company expands".
Townsend said he was attracted to the company by its 'Reset Certification Scheme' (RCS) - an electronic method of logging and checking the skills and qualifications of contract personnel. Leeds-Bradford International Airport is an affiliate organisation and makes it mandatory for its contractors to carry the RCS card, the company said.
Townsend added: "I was contacted by Gary Duce, the managing director of Reset, and asked whether I would like to invest in the certification scheme. Having carried out the usual due diligence, and having seen what had been achieved so far, I was only too happy to say yes."
Duce added: "Ian's investment has meant that Reset can expand and create more new jobs as it increases its client base.
"We are very confident that our ground-breaking Reset Certification Scheme will prove extremely popular as it is both cost and time efficient and promotes sound health and safety practice. Now we have the means to promote the card across the UK."
