our story

Rizon was created on a simple belief:
we can achieve more together.

In 2025, AquaTerra Training, Bon Accord Training and IED Training Solutions joined forces to offer businesses and individuals a more comprehensive and connected approach. As client needs evolved, we recognised that they were looking for a partner with experience, variety of expertise and the ability to collaborate across disciplines.

Rizon brings decades of experience, specialist skills and trusted resources together to deliver solutions that solve complex challenges, drive growth and help people and organisations perform at their best.

Partnership is at the heart of everything we do. By working closely with our clients and with each other, we provide strategies, systems and training that deliver meaningful results, lasting value and raise the standard of success.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did the 5 day forklift training course and thought it was really good from start to finish. John was a great instructor, explained everything clearly and got the balance between theory and practical spot on.
The practical side was really well set up too, with plenty of different exercises and some good challenging setups like chicanes and tighter manoeuvres, so you were actually learning how to control the forklift properly rather than just going through the motions.
By the end of the week I felt confident that I could operate a forklift safely and properly. Would definitely recommend Rizon Training and John to anyone looking to do their forklift training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a training session with a trainer (Ian) and it was a great experience. Very knowledgeable, professional, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. The session was engaging and well-structured, and it really helped build my confidence. The trainer created a positive and supportive environment throughout. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for high-quality training.
