Biz Group Biography

Enriching lives through learning

Biz Group is a leading learning and development company with over 30 years of experience supporting organisations across the Middle East. We help businesses solve real challenges by equipping their people with the skills, mindset, and tools needed to perform at their best.

Biz Group is made up of three distinct but interconnected lines of business: Learning, Teambuilding, and Learning Tech. Each of these can serve you independently or come together to create integrated, high-impact solutions tailored to your needs. Within each business line, we combine our own content, tools and experiences with internationally recognised brands and products that we represent in the region.

We’ve partnered with hundreds of leading organisations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and wider Middle East—delivering everything from leadership journeys and team experiences to AI-powered digital learning platforms. Whether the goal is to build capability, improve collaboration, or embed lasting change, we bring a human-led, technology-enabled approach that delivers measurable impact.

Our Story

In 1993 our found and CEO Hazel Jackson touched down in Dubai with a vision to build a company focused on enriching lives.

Since 1993, we have grown into much more than a training company. We are proud to say that we have worked with hundreds of leading companies in the Middle East, helping them overcome business challenges and transform organisations with Learning.

Our Journey Over the Years

As a trailblazer in the training and development industry, we have forged strategic partnerships with world-renowned experts to bring cutting-edge Learning Solutions to the Middle East. By leveraging the latest innovations and technologies, we empower organisations to achieve tangible business outcomes that translate into success.
