Belbin
Belbin is a Cambridge-based team development company built on the Belbin Team Roles model, founded by Dr Meredith Belbin and his family in 1987.
It sells online Belbin reports for individuals, teams, working relationships and jobs, along with its Interplace platform, and runs workshops and team coaching for organisations, from boards to new recruits. The model comes from research Dr Belbin's team carried out at Henley Management College in the 1970s, which identified nine Team Roles. Its Team Role Accreditation course trains human resources (HR) and learning and development staff, coaches and consultants to use the reports. The course runs online over four morning sessions or in person over three days at the Pitt Building in Cambridge, with pre-course reading and a final test.
Its online shop lists an individual report at £58.80 and a team report at £117.60, and accreditation costs £1,665 plus VAT (value added tax) per person, online or in person. The accreditation is awarded by Belbin itself rather than an external body. The business has been owned through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) since 1 October 2022 and trades as Belbin Limited from Comberton, near Cambridge. Belbin states that its reports have been translated into more than 25 languages and are used in over 100 countries.
