Wiltshire-based international automotive learning and development agency RTS Group has moved to larger offices to accommodate future growth.
The firm has relocated its headquarters from central Chippenham to a new suite of offices in nearby Notton.
RTS was set up in 1989 and has grown to a head office team of more than 40 with 200-plus associates around the world.
It helps automotive manufacturers such as such as Mercedes-Benz, Mazda and Nissan and dealers develop their staff, including dealer principals, sales, parts and service personnel.
Its wide range of courses, which it devises, designs and delivers, are aimed at improving the knowledge, skills and performance of frontline staff.
RTS Group trades in the UK and extensively overseas including in Europe, China, the Middle East, and Africa. Its highly successful finance arm FIMTRAC supports dealerships to increase the take-up among customers of point-of-sale finance.
Managing director Malcolm Miller said: “We had outgrown our premises and for some time had been looking for a new location which better reflects our brand as a modern, global company, and also gives us the room we need to expand.
“The world of learning has moved on and in addition to traditional classroom learning we use state-of-the art technology, including 3D animation and augmented reality, so it was important for us to find a new location which would give us superior facilities to produce digital learning and development programmes.”
The new offices are not only bigger, they are brighter and more airy to work in and boast a dedicated e-learning iPad set up station area with a bigger film studio.
RTS Group uses a range of methods from one-to-one and classroom learning, through to e-learning, using smart phones, tablets and online tools.
Last year, the company underwent a management buy-out and is now owned and managed by the team of directors.
