About Mellor Financial Training
Training for real-world challenges
At Mellor Financial Training, our courses and material are aimed at people who don’t have a financial qualification and so are designed to make what often confuses people relatable and understandable. We use a whole range of real-world examples and exercises to help bring it to life.
Our primary goal is to increase the confidence of every delegate in every course.
Subject-Matter Experts
In many ways we see ourselves as subject matter experts rather than specialist trainers – all our training has a focus on the real world. We work to understand:
- Your pain points
- Your barriers to understanding
- What a meaningful impact would look like to you and your daily job role?

What is your favourite part of your role?
“I love the lightbulb moment when people suddenly realise how the conversations they’ve had about finance and didn’t get, suddenly make sense to them.”
Fun Fact about Martin:
“Me and my wife eloped – we got married on an island beach just off the coast of New Zealand – you could only get there by air or boat and there were no roads on the island at all. Ever resourceful the man who was the pilot of the boat we got across also turned out to be our celebrant.”

Business Journey
Mellor Financial Training was established in 2016 after the founder, Martin Mellor, identified a real gap in the confidence of people in the business when it comes to discussing and understanding finance.
The initial focus was on face-to-face sessions of what has gone to be our flagship offering – finance for non-finance managers, over time we have expanded the course offering and the delivery options.
Relatively early adopters of running sessions “live” online, Mellor Financial Training began to think that much of what was available on the market wasn’t offering a particularly high-quality service. He set about creating our online learning hub with Candle Digital and we kicked this off before the pandemic. Little did we realise how crucial it would become.
Always evolving we now see the future of the hub part of a blended or hybrid offering, coupled with “live” group sessions. Some of the feedback we have had from clients so far has been fabulous!
