Shaping the next generation of future-ready leaders at Zellis Group
As Zellis Group continued to grow, it recognised the need for a new generation of leaders with the skills, confidence and insight to drive both people and performance.
The solution was a set of tailored development pathways that not only prepared employees for management roles, but aligned leadership behaviours to the company’s long-term strategy.

The client
Zellis Group is a leading provider of payroll and HR software and services across the UK and Ireland. The group includes Zellis, Moorepay and Benefex, supporting thousands of businesses with workforce management and employee engagement solutions.
The challenge
The group wanted a dynamic development partner capable of delivering leadership and management programmes with:
- Fresh, engaging content.
- Flexible delivery models suited to a diverse workforce.
- A strong cultural fit that aligned with Zellis’ growth strategy.
Their clear objective was to build leadership capability across the organisation, while ensuring programmes directly supported strategic priorities.
Programmes designed to align with business goals
In partnership with Zellis, Fuel Learning created and delivered bespoke Level 3 and Level 5 programmes which were rolled out nationally. Each pathway blended workshops, one-to-one coaching and live business projects to ensure learning translated into real-world results.
What made it work
- High-impact workshops reinforced by 1:1 coaching.
- Live business challenges that turned learning into practice.
- Development content embedded with Zellis fundamentals to connect with strategy.
- Elective sessions offering fresh, relevant and unique learning experiences.
The impact
The programmes gave Zellis managers not just know-how but the confidence and tools to put their knowledge and skills into action. Employees left equipped to lead teams effectively, solve real challenges and contribute directly to business performance.
By aligning leadership development with strategy, Zellis created a stronger management pipeline while reinforcing the culture and behaviours that underpin the group’s growth.
“This programme didn’t just teach management skills, it showed me how to apply them in my role straight away.”
