Welcome to the newly formed SDN Mesma Group

We welcome the newly merged SDN Mesma Group as a member of ALPS & Alphi. Read more about the merger here…

We recently announced that Mesma and SDN were officially joining forces as one merged organisation.

We wanted to officially share this information with you as a trusted partner and because it may be of interest to your members who are SDN and Mesma’s customers and partners. 

The merger combines the expertise of two of the most respected names in the sector, growing their 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 our existing trading names, Strategic Development Network (SDN) and Mesma, providing continuity for our longstanding respective clients while enabling deeper collaboration and innovation. The group will maintain bases in both the North and South of England, working across all regions of the four UK nations, alongside a growing international client base.

Existing leaders from both businesses will oversee five-year growth plans, with a 12-month integration period already underway. In addition to safeguarding existing permanent roles, the merger allows further capacity to create apprenticeships and T Level industry placements.  

For existing clients and partners, there are no changes to existing relationships and contracts. If you have any queries, please contact the team at hello@mesma.co.uk or hello@strategicdevelopmentnetwork.co.uk. 

We’re looking forward to exploring what this next chapter means for you and our continued work together as the SDN Mesma Group.
