September 10, 2024
Benchmark International is pleased to announce the acquisition of ioda by Apprentify.
ioda is a management & leadership training and coaching firm focused on inclusive leadership, combining this with diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) as well as developing professional coaches.
Apprentify offers a unique approach to finding, recruiting and training digital and technical apprentices from start to finish via its specialist apprenticeship programmes.
This strategic acquisition will unite Apprentify’s Ofsted 'Outstanding' apprenticeship programmes with ioda’s decades-long expertise in leadership, equality, diversity, and inclusion training.
It will also enhance Apprentify’s current offerings by adding ioda’s horizontal and vertical development approach to the already comprehensive range of digital and technical training programmes.
You know your business. And we know how to sell it.
Lisa Reynolds, managing director of ioda, commented: “It’s really important to us all here at ioda that organisations develop their leaders with all the skills required to make a positive impact on the people they lead and the environments they lead in. This includes the digital and technical skills that Apprentify are renowned for. So being acquired by Apprentify Group is the perfect match for us and our clients, and one that the whole team at ioda are excited to be part of.”
Jonathan Fitchew, CEO of Apprentify, said: “This acquisition marks a significant step in our journey to deliver holistic professional development opportunities. By integrating ioda’s leadership and coaching strengths with our digital and technical focus, we are primed to offer unrivalled growth paths for individuals and businesses alike.”
Apprentify Group, which consists of Apprentify, Netcom Training, Juice Academy and Upskilla, has acquired ioda as part of its own ambitious growth plans, which will see the company take over new offices in Wilmslow and expand its workforce to meet the growing demand for its courses.

The appointment is part of Benchmark International’s ongoing strategy to accelerate its global growth and service innovation.Erwartungen für Fusionen und Übernahmen im mittleren Marktsegment im Jahr 2025Jüngste Umfragen haben gezeigt, dass die M&A-Aussichten für das Jahr 2025 den größten Optimismus der letzten Jahre in Bezug auf Geschäftsabschlüsse erkennen lassen. Die 14. jährliche Umfrage der Citizens Bank unter mehr als 400 Führungskräften des Mittelstands und Private-Equity-Investoren in den Vereinigten Staaten ergab, dass ein günstiges wirtschaftliches Umfeld ein Hauptgrund dafür ist, dass Unternehmen und Investoren im Jahr 2025 nach M&A-Strategien suchen werden. Außerdem haben sich die Unsicherheiten der letzten Jahre gelegt, und die Bewertungen werden als stabil oder höher als in den vergangenen Jahren eingeschätzt. Kleinere mittelständische Unternehmen gehen indes zurückhaltender vor, und viele Verkäufer entscheiden sich für den Verkauf eines Teils ihres Unternehmens und nicht für einen Komplettverkauf. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die befragten Entscheidungsträger für das Jahr 2025 ein Wirtschaftswachstum und eine höhere Rate an M&A-Transaktionen erwarten.
