Regenda Group acquires Positive Footprints

Burnley-based careers education programme provider Positive Footprints has been acquired by Liverpool housing firm Regenda.

The deal strengthens Regenda’s strategy to diversify into the education, training and apprenticeship sector, and follows last year’s acquisition of Alder Training in Liverpool.

Lesley Burrows, managing director at Positive Footprints, said: “We are very excited to be joining the Regenda Group. It is clear that this organisation has ambitious plans for its training and education offering, and we are delighted to be part of that journey.

Traditionally a property based company, the Regenda Group has recently made a number of acquisitions to support its vision for sustainable regeneration, through providing opportunities for people to achieve their economic and social wellbeing.

“We believe that the team at Positive Footprints bring an exciting and forward thinking range of programmes to the group, which will enhance our current offering, while also allowing us to explore new areas within careers, training and apprenticeships.” Positive Footprints is the fourth acquisition by the Regenda Group and its second in 12 months.
