Our History Sugar International was born in a small office in Adelaide, South Australia as LJ Hooker Business Solutions, a company created to design and implement targeted training and development programs for LJ Hooker. These innovative programs were highly successful and spread throughout Australia and across the Tasman to New Zealand. Our strong commitment to LJ Hooker continues today and it is a relationship Sugar is extremely proud of. Current Sugar CEO and MD John Wall quickly realised that the positive impact customised training had on real estate could be expanded into other industries. He focused on both growing the company's client base and acquiring a broad range of suitable training businesses. Business Solutions officially became Sugar International in 2006. In just eight years, we have grown to a team of passionate professionals, with offices in Sydney, Auckland and other major cities across Australasia. After five years of strong organic growth in the real estate and financial services market, the business took on a group of investors and the Sugar Brand was created. This allowed Sugar to acquire suitable assets and grow them into leading providers in their independent markets. Progress has been rapid. In 2007, Sugar acquired Performance Edge Systems, Champagne Consultants, Training Solutions Plus and Action People. In 2008 we added the J2S Group of Registered Training Organisations which included J2S Training Solutions, National Training, Australian College of Management, The QLD College of Business, 1 Training Solutions and J2S itself. In 2009, Sugar acquired the rights to Mission Australia Training Institute and, in partnership with Mission Australia, we continue to offer high quality training to the community services sector. In July this year, we acquired Source4, a Registered Training Organisation specialising in mining which has a proven Indigenous Employment model as part of its IP. Sugar continues to add value to the existing customer base of these organisations while growing them organically. Sugar currently conducts over 1,000 training days each year while professionally and personally training more than 20,000 people each year. The launch of our Consulting Partner Network has allowed Sugar International to create effective partnerships with independent professional development experts, who understand our clients, industries and their unique challenges. With an active student population of over 5,000 completing traineeships in Australia and over 2,000 jobseekers trained in 2009, Sugar is the leading provider of vocational education in Australia. Along the way, we have won major contracts with over 25 of the top 100 companies and organisations in the country. These recent acquisitions have enabled Sugar International to broaden its profile. We are now able to offer our clients extensive experience in corporate, soft skill and government initiatives towards accredited training. As we enter our ninth year, our mission remains clear. Sugar International builds people who build business. |
