What WOODGATE CONSULTING LTD does

Woodgate Consulting Ltd is a Scotland-based (SC571517) digital consultancy and bespoke e-learning development firm founded in 2016 by Director Amy Woodgate. The company operates as a fully remote team of four core specialists — Amy Woodgate (Director and Digital Education Consultant), Clare McIntyre (Learning Designer), Meg Scutt (Media Production Lead and Learning Designer), and Milo Kirk (Media Producer) — with periodic gatherings in Edinburgh.

The company's core offering is full-service creation of online learning experiences, delivered across five integrated service lines: digital consultancy, course development, UX/UI design, media production, and training services. Underlying technology stack is third-party rather than proprietary: LMS platforms, authoring tools, and Adobe Creative Suite for media production including interactive activities, infographics, and animated video. The firm differentiates on instructional design craft and storytelling for complex or sensitive subject matter rather than on a software product; cumulative output is reported as 335 courses developed for 40 clients across 23 languages including Welsh, Bangla, Turkish, and Arabic.

Commercially, Woodgate runs a sales-led, direct-engagement model with a free initial no-obligation consultation, quote-based project pricing, and a current 10% discount for first-time clients. Revenue is professional-services only, with no SaaS, API, or platform product. Customer base is concentrated in the third sector — Save the Children UK, Terre des hommes, Plan International, INEE, EIT Urban Mobility, the Eric Liddell Community, Women Win, the Spotlight Initiative — alongside higher education (Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University) and select commercial SMBs. Marketing is organic and content-led through blog, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, with no paid acquisition or partner channel.

Others

• Articulate: Dominant eLearning authoring tool provider (Storyline, Rise) that underpins much of the course development work agencies like Woodgate deliver — adjacent ecosystem player whose tools shape the production stack Woodgate uses.
• Elucidat: Cloud-based eLearning authoring platform for enterprise teams — adjacent to Woodgate as a tool that enables in-house course creation, potentially competing with outsourced bespoke development for simpler projects.

Broad incumbents

• Docebo: AI-powered learning platform with content authoring and extended enterprise training capabilities — competes for the same customer wallet for learning delivery, though as a platform vendor rather than bespoke content developer.
• GP Strategies: Large performance improvement and corporate learning services provider covering custom content development, instructional design, and training delivery — a scaled incumbent in the same professional-services eLearning space.
• Skillsoft: Global leader in corporate digital learning content, platforms, and content development services — overlapping with Woodgate's bespoke course development and training offering but at massive scale across thousands of courses and customers.

Direct peers

• Bray Leino Learning: UK-based learning design and content development agency offering bespoke eLearning, animation, and learning strategy — directly comparable service offering and geographic footprint to Woodgate.
• Sponge UK: UK-based bespoke digital learning and eLearning design agency offering custom course development, learning strategy, and media production. Closest direct comparable to Woodgate in size, geography, and service mix.
• Learning Pool: Provider of learning platforms and bespoke learning content for mid-market and enterprise organizations, with particular strength in the public and nonprofit sectors — directly overlapping with Woodgate's primary verticals.
• Kineo: Global eLearning solutions provider delivering custom learning content, LMS implementation, and learning strategy across industries. Same end-to-end service model as Woodgate but at significantly greater scale.

Emerging players

• Thought Industries: External learning platform purpose-built for delivering customer and partner training at scale — relevant comparator for organizations that might otherwise commission bespoke learning experiences from agencies like Woodgate.
