E.learning Age, May 2008

Administrators have sold the Apprentice Learning Division part of the Carter and Carter Group to the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF).

The RMIF will run Carter and Carter's former apprentice programmes under Its training arm, ReMIT Ltd. This is a known brand in automotive apprentice training in the UK, particularly among independent garages and dealerships.

Joint Administrators Nick Dargan, Dominic Wong and Chris Farrington of Deloitte, were appointed over Carter and Carter Group on 11 March 2008. Most of the business and assets were sold to Newcastle College on 20 March 2008.

Chris Farrington, partner at Deloitte, said: "We are delighted that we have successfully concluded a sale of a further part of the Carter and Carter Group. The sale safeguards the jobs of around 30 people still employed by Carter and Carter, and gives opportunity for the new owners to re-employ a number of former staff, as well as preserving this valuable training resource for future generations of apprentices and employers."
