TopFloor Zambia facilitates the attainment of corporate and individual goals through the provision of customised human capital solutions. Everything we do at TopFloor, from human capital outsourcing and training to consultancy and talent acquisition, is designed to develop people and organisations. Founded in 2011 by Mark Bennett and Ian Ferrao, TopFloor was created as a local solution for world class training for Zambians. Although he was British, Mark lived and worked in Zambia for over 30 years. Passionate about education and how to leverage technology to deliver quality education to the masses, he co-founded TopFloor, and later founded iSchool (www.ischool.zm). Mark who was seen by many as a mentor and inspiration had the rare quality of wanting to unlock each individual’s potential and education was a huge part of that process.

That very spirit was the inspiration behind the name TopFloor. In one of TopFloor's very first meetings, potential names for the organisation were tossed around with a specific focus on finding a name that was aspirational, that made people feel like they could achieve their dreams through professional development. And this is where 'TopFloor' came from, that we could take people to the 'TopFloor' through professional development and certifications.
