About Us
Peter Scholey is an entrepreneur and Learning and Development professional based in Yorkshire.
He formed Adler Business Services in 2021 as a vehicle to enable him to deliver quality property management services to a number of clients, in addition to supplying a range of diverse training courses.
This is in addition to his ‘day job’ as a Learning and Development Officer for a leading Local Authority.
Pete’s background has been in school-based education, adult education, customer service and local authority training as well as project management and finance administration. He is also a serving Army Reservist and involved in numerous local and hobby organisations at a senior level.
Adler was formed to provide two distinct services – firstly to provide a cost-effective and personal property management service to both landlords and tenants, and secondly to provide bespoke training services to a variety of clients in a number of different fields.
The Property Management ‘arm’ to the business was developed after Pete received a statement from a leading letting agent that took over a thousand pounds in fees in 6 months, for a service he could have done himself for less than a hundred. Having just embarked on acquiring two more properties to his portfolio, he thus resolved to share this acquired knowledge with other friends and family and save them some of their hard-earned income. The fundamental philosophy behind his portfolio is to have “Good landlords with good properties and attract good tenants’ – thus everyone benefits from the arrangement. This ethos can be seen in that one of the houses that Pete lets was originally intended for his own family, and another is on the same street where he currently lives!
The Training ‘arm’ of the business is there to provide tailored solutions to organisation’s needs. Whether this be customer service training to a group of staff on how to better deal with problematic customers, or digital skills ‘upskilling’ to help employees get the most from technology investments and upgrades. The advantages of better trained staff are manifold – greater efficiency, effectiveness and morale, as well as reduced staff turnover, stress and sickness.
Pete’s previous roles have included a primary school teacher, running an adult education company, working for Local Authorities in Customer Service and training, working for the British Army as a recruiter, and in project management for a Microsoft Gold Partner business. He currently works as a Learning and Development Officer for a leading Yorkshire Local Authority.
Pete’s has achieved many different things – managing best-performing teams in local authorities, delivering popular classes and lectures to hundreds of attendees, and managing projects worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. On a more personal level, he has enjoyed setting up a busy and profitable adult education company with over a hundred students, to running great and successful hobby clubs with hundreds of members.
In Pete’s personal time he loves spending time in the outdoors with his German Shepherd - walking, camping and generally enjoying the Great British countryside! He is also an avid student of history (and especially military history) and often drags his family across the UK camping to see castles, houses and battlefields. Pete runs a WW2 Living History group and they often travel across the north of England displaying for Museums, Councils and private events.
