About 4pt Limited
Our Journey
4pt Limited was founded on 13th April 2009 in Newcastle Upon Tyne. 4pt is owned and managed by founding directors David Tait and Shahid Yakoob.
Both David and Shahid have a wealth of eLearning industry knowledge, built up over more than 20 years working in the eLearning industry. Read on to learn more about their eLearning careers and the founding of 4pt Limited.
2000–2007
Before 4pt Limited, David and Shahid began working together in 2000. It was at eMedit Ltd., a Tyneside-based eLearning startup where they both entered the eLearning industry. Specialising in the creation of accredited online CPD for healthcare professionals, the pair gained exposure to local and international clients, working closely with organisations in the USA to develop specialist online medical training.
2007–2009
In 2007, eMedit was acquired by AIM-listed Intellego, a London-based eLearning developer. The takeover gave David and Shahid the opportunity to develop eLearning content for a more diverse range of clients in the Financial, Legal, Real-estate and Retail sectors, enabling them to further develop their knowledge of the eLearning industry.
2009–
David and Shahid moved on in 2009 to set up 4pt Limited. 4pt specialise in designing and developing useful and engaging eLearning solutions. With a strong focus on creating relevant, well-designed content, lasting client relationships and agile development practices, 4pt are proud to work with clients here in the UK and overseas to help them educate their learners, whatever the subject.
