Laying Talent Foundations: Empowering Workforce Competence and Career Development with comaea

Tilbury Douglas, a leading UK-based construction and engineering company, faced the challenge of demonstrating workforce competence across diverse roles, ensuring compliance with evolving industry regulations, and enhancing professional development pathways for employees. We spoke to Julie Curtis, Learning and Development Manager, to understand how they had found the introduction of comaea.


The organisation needed more than just a Learning Management System (LMS); they required a platform that could track, assess, and develop workforce competencies effectively. With the introduction of the Building Safety Act and other compliance requirements such as ISO standards, Tilbury Douglas needed a solution that could:

  • Offer a centralised, reliable system for certification tracking and reporting.
  • Ensure competence across all roles, from project managers to site managers and tradespeople.
  • Demonstrate compliance for audits and certifications.
  • Provide an intuitive platform for employees to manage their career development.
  • Integrate with professional competency frameworks from external bodies.
