SDN Mesma Group is actively involved in supporting colleges, training providers and universities as part of their SAR validation panels.

This merger combines our sector expertise and growing portfolio of work with central government, regional authorities, sector partners, employers and post-16 providers to design and deliver high-quality technical education, support services and employability provision. The newly formed group is positioned as a leading force to drive greater impact and innovation during a time of significant policy change. This merger marks a major milestone, coinciding with the launch of powerful new features on the Mesma software platform. These enhancements harness the latest advances in artificial intelligence to streamline internal performance diagnostics and quality improvement processes, delivering even greater value to customers. The group will continue to operate under existing trading names, Strategic Development Network (SDN) and Mesma, providing continuity for clients while enabling deeper collaboration and innovation. The group will maintain bases in both the North and South of England, working in all four UK nations alongside a growing international client base.
