Company History

Beneast Training Ltd has a fabulous reputation for top quality training, developed with passion and dedication over the past 20 years and more.
Founded in March 1983 Beneast opened for business in St Annes with three staff and just 11 trainees delivering motor vehicle apprenticeships.

Over the next few years, we moved several times in pursuit of larger premises. We successfully took over Wyre Training Services of St Anne’s and centralised operations, moving to Talbot Roads, Blackpool. We modernised them so they were fit for purpose – learning.

In 2003 Beneast won the e2e contract for the area and opened a new suite of offices in Stanley Road, designed and purpose-built for our e2e learners. We also opened new offices in Carleton Court, Fleetwood to extend the e2e provision across the Fylde.

Since 2003 we’ve gained further contracts including ETP’s Train to Gain, ESF projects and Young Apprentices, not forgetting the new learndirect contract for which we’ve built a dedicated learning centre.

Today, our headquarters remain handily located on Coleridge Road, off Talbot Road in central Blackpool. Our other purpose-built training centres are in Stanley Road, Blackpool, on St Alban’s Road in St Annes and at Lord Street and Carleton Court in Fleetwood.

Beneast today

Beneast offers a comprehensive portfolio of both government funded courses and commercial training for employers, schools, and learners of all ages. Working with organisations of all sizes, from national companies to small locally based businesses, we’re now the biggest independent training provider in the area.

Beneast’s learners also benefit from our excellent links with over 750 local employers, including an impressive collection of household names like Gold Medal Travel, Auto Indemnity, Fylde Borough Council and Blackpool Council. It’s not unknown for our learners to find themselves members of those highly successful teams.

Our employers have a high regard for the standard of training that Beneast offers and share our commitment to providing quality training while at work. Just as in 1983, we’re dedicated to working together with our partners to help learners fulfil their potential.
