A MANAGEMENT service provider, which opened in Stoke Prior on Friday, has promised to bring 80 new jobs to Bromsgrove.

District MP Sajid Javid officially launched Episteme Managed Solutions, which supports government funded training programmes, at its new headquarters in Saxon Business Park.

Founded by Sam Morgan, Matt Corden and Craig Hughes to help businesses manage government-funded workforce training, Episteme has already secured clients both locally and nationally, and created 20 new jobs in the area.

Bosses expect this figure to rise to 80 before the firm's first anniversary.

Co-founder Sam Morgan said: "We’re thrilled to be opening our doors to help businesses manage their training services.

"Our business is built on the basis of its people and the local area holds significant talent within our sector.

"We felt that now was the right to time to set out on this new venture and the team and location were pivotal to the launch."
