Our History

Olive Group was established in 2006 as a result of our experience as a business in the oil and gas sector: safety was a priority for many organisations like ours but compliance and legislation were becoming an expensive headache. This mismatch led founder, Brendan Kavanagh, to create a new cost-effective health and safety model that offered a more flexible approach to training.

The concept proved successful and led to further thoughts on how could Olive bring even more cost-savings and improvements to training. What about online, mobile and virtual training? From this, Olive Group was born. With our powerful, easy to use, integrated set of learning applications, businesses can induct, train, and develop staff by delivering learning experiences that are relevant, engaging and rewarding.

Today we are on a mission to train employees in a better, more cost-effective way, one business transformation after another.

Who are “we”?

Well, we are L&D experts, digital designers, editors, scriptwriters, camera crews and account managers. But above all we are problem solvers. Our focus is on finding the best possible solutions to your training challenges.

Our Work

We’re actually more interested in hearing about you.

However, sometimes you can’t be so modest. So below we’ve listed our most recent achievements. But of course (and here’s the humility) these awards are really about our clients; after all they’re ones that trust us to roll-out these creative programmes across their organisations.

Awards

Too often we find companies going to great lengths to stress “we don’t care about awards”.  But we don’t believe it. Who doesn’t love awards? Are we good at what we do? We like to think we are – but our own affirmation isn’t really enough when striving to be the best in class.  Winning awards is ace because it proves to us that what we are doing is right. It’s not hard to prove why.

Awards are like the currency of our industry. We want to be the best because we want to work with the best clients and give them the best solutions. We need to work hard, to win the awards so the best clients gravitate towards us to be given a service which wins more awards, attracting even better clients.

Winning awards also improves morale, they give us a sense of where we are on the trajectory and where we need to be. They also give us a sense that what we are doing is right and to keep moving in that direction.

Here are some recent awards we have picked up for our bespoke designs. We look forward to this list expanding over time.
