Why we love learning...

Learning is essential to life
Learning is an essential part of being human. We learn all the time, even unconsciously. Learning is imperative to our survival and enables us to thrive. We love the fact this is what we do and how connected it is to the purpose of being human. 

We believe in diverse thinking
Innovation happens best when there is diversity... Creativity stems from different views being fused together to create new ideas, products, processes, and services. Creativity is at our heart and has enabled us to grow and develop as a business and be brave enough to try new things. 

We are passionate about people
Being human runs through all we do, how we learn, how we connect and engage, how we communicate, and how we create a sense of belonging and inclusion. We are passionate about our people but also passionate about your people and how to create the best environment for learning.

Our history

Hemsley Fraser started as a public training course provider in 1991, quickly becoming one of the leading soft skills training providers in the UK. After nearly 30 years, our business has expanded greatly and today we are a complete learning and talent development provider, with products and services spanning learning content, technology, and services.

Expanding our services to the US in 2006, we’ve since serviced over 30% of the Global Fortune 500, as well as partnered with several of the largest US government agencies. With a presence in the German Market since 2008 and the opening of HF Canada in 2019, we further expanded our international capability working with multiple DAX 30 Index companies.

Today, we operate in more than 90 countries, and nearly as many languages, with a vast global supply chain of industry experts at our disposal.
