Cardiff – CFI is pleased to announce that it acted as lead financial advisor to Talk Training on its employee buy-out.

Talk Training is a UK based leading training company providing tailored training to industries across a wide range of disciplines.

Jon, Alison and Steve will remain at Talk Training supporting the new Trust Directors – Tanya Parmee, Sales manager, Lisa Harris, Operations manager – and an independent Trustee Director.

Jon Hughes, Talk Training’s Managing Director, added: “The formation of the EOT is a major step change in the development of this company, and one of the most exciting since its incorporation over twenty-six years ago.
