A Flitwick-based business has reached the final of the SME Business Awards for the best enterprising business category.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Geopace pioneered a virtual classroom practical training option complete with full training kit for students during lockdown. The virtual classroom is now a permanent training option for students.

In 2021 Geopace introduced a vaccination course to support the covid vaccination hubs and to date has trained over 1,244 vaccinators across the nation. The course not only covers covid vaccines but all routes of administration, allowing students to protect patients against multiple diseases and be prepared for any future vaccines that are developed.
