Peakdean Interactive Limited was formed in September 2001 by the merger of two established and well-respected multimedia education and training production companies, Peak Interactive Limited (founded in London in 1990) and Dean Interactive Learning Limited (founded in Sheffield in 1982).
These two companies have over thirty years combined experience of creating multimedia learning solutions for a wide variety of clients, both in the UK and overseas. Whilst Peak Interactive had specialised in providing products and services to corporate and educational customers, Dean Interactive Learning had built up a large network of clients in government bodies and major companies at home and abroad.
