A North Tyneside healthcare training provider is set to scale up after securing a five-figure investment from the North East Small Loan Fund.
Breeze Academy offers CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training for healthcare professionals in disciplines including acupuncture and dry needling, sports massage, strength and conditioning and yoga teacher training, as well as coaching professionals looking to create their own online courses. Headquartered in North Tyneside, it offers a hybrid training model which combines online learning through the its website with face-to-face sessions, and currently has a six-strong team of trainers working with clients across the UK and overseas.
The £60,000 Small Loan Fund investment, which was obtained through regional fund management firm NEL Fund Managers, will help the business scale up its operations by taking on more trainers with additional specialisms and boost its business development campaigns. The business will target markets including North America, continental Europe and the Middle East, and it is aiming to double its turnover over the coming year.
