Evolution – Not Revolution
Following the acquisition of Redkite by LearnPro Group in January 2025, we have been on an exciting journey of evolution, which will continue over the weeks and months to follow. Our iconic Redkite brand, though it references its proud history and dominance within the aviation market, has also changed. But this is an evolution – not a revolution, and our core values, our dedication to our clients and the quality of our products will remain a constant.
About the Founder
David Arber, the founder of Redkite, is a visionary in global aviation fire and rescue technology, with a career spanning decades and multiple industries. Beyond his work in competency management, he developed software to support individuals with disabilities and pioneered Reality Orientation Therapy tools for Alzheimer’s care. His dedication to innovation and quality has left an indelible mark, and at LearnPro Group, we honour his legacy as Redkite’s solutions continue to thrive worldwide.
Our Mission
Our goal is simple: to improve safety, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure compliance for organisations where readiness is critical. Through our Redkite software suite, we empower teams with digital solutions that streamline training, asset management, and incident logging—keeping people, equipment and processes at peak performance.
Who We Are
With over 40 years of experience, Redkite is a global leader in competence, asset, and incident management software. We were founded in 1989, using the trading name of Performance Monitoring Systems Ltd. We have a proven track record of designing and delivering robust, user-friendly solutions that help organisations maintain compliance and improve performance. Our software is trusted 24/7 in airports, fire and rescue services, defence, healthcare and other high-risk industries. From competency-based training to real-time asset tracking and incident logging, we provide fully integrated, cloud-based solutions that replace outdated manual processes.
Our Growth & Global Impact
Redkite Systems is the leading provider of digital competence and equipment management systems for fire and rescue services worldwide. We support major Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (ARFFs) across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond—including military, private, and civil aerodromes. Our technology also powers safety and compliance initiatives across government, emergency services, and corporate sectors, ensuring regulatory adherence and operational readiness. In 2025, LearnPro Group acquired Redkite, expanding its reach and strengthening its position in global aviation and industrial fire safety. This strategic move allows us to continue innovating and delivering cutting-edge solutions that drive efficiency, improve response times, and protect lives.
