The Verdancy Group

What The Verdancy Group does

The Verdancy Group is a UK-based sustainability training and consultancy organisation headquartered in Livingston, Scotland, operating through its Apex Training arm. The company delivers accredited green-skills training — primarily in EV charging point installation, battery energy storage systems, solar PV installation, and retrofit techniques — to practising electricians, roofers, businesses, educational institutions, and community groups. Course delivery occurs through two physical facilities (the Apex Training Centre in Basingstoke and Scotland's National Retrofit Centre at BE-ST in Hamilton, near Glasgow) plus online and blended formats.

The underlying technology is a vocational training delivery model rather than a software platform; the proprietary differentiator is the Apex Training curriculum and its portfolio of accreditations (NOCN Approved Centre, CITB Training Provider Network, Matrix QM, ISEP, SCQF, Cyber-Essentials, Living Wage Employer). Specialist consultancy services in environmental and sustainability guidance are offered alongside training, and the company publishes a 2023–2028 sustainability strategy.

The revenue model is primarily course-fee-based, with significant subsidisation through the Warm Homes Skills Programme (50% government funding plus an additional 10% for under-represented groups) and Skills Bootcamps. The company employs approximately six people and has no disclosed revenue, funding, or ownership structure beyond being a privately-held UK entity.
