Winning business blooms with global accolade

Winning business blooms with global accolade

Auckland-based business Bloom Learning Solutions has won silver in the Start-up Learning Provider of the Year category at the 20th Annual Learning Performance Institute Awards in London this month.

The annual awards are recognised globally as the learning and development sector’s premier award ceremony, and this year’s awards attracted more than 460 entries from 14 countries.

British television and radio personality Claudia Winkleman hosted the event, which took place at the Dorchester Hotel, on London’s Park Lane. This year the finalists competed to take out the top spot in 13 categories including Learning Professional of the Year, Learning Provider of the Year and External Learning Solution of the Year.

Bloom’s General Manager Rustica Lamb and Operations Manager Beryl Oldham were there to accept the award. “We couldn’t be more thrilled. As a small New Zealand company, to have our achievements recognised on a global scale is a huge achievement,” says Rustica.

In the last 12 months Bloom have grown quickly, securing global partnerships with The Entrepreneurs Institute, and the exclusive New Zealand partnership rights with both Docebo Learning Management System (LMS) and the Learning Performance Institute (LPI).

Docebo is a cloud-based learning management software that large corporates and government departments use for online organisational development programmes, skills training, and professional development. “Docebo operates in 70 countries and is the best LMS we’ve ever used,” says Rustica.

The LPI accreditation partnership means that Bloom can now offer New Zealand learning and development and human resources professionals the LPI accreditation training, which is a global qualification with international benchmark standards.

Such is their success that Bloom have been invited to sit on the Change Makers Panel at this year’s Fast Forward Your Business seminar, alongside Excellerated Business Schools CEO Dame DC Cordova and Vend Founder and CEO Vaughan Rowsell. The series of global seminars will visit eight cities and have a combined attendance of more than 10,000 people. The Auckland event on March 17 and 18 at the Aotea Centre is likely to attract 500 entrepreneurs and business owners. geniusu.com/worldtourprelaunch?a_aid=rustlamb
