During April 2000, Lantra undertook a corporate restructure and set up a charitable trust, called the Lantra Trust, to oversee all of their training services. They separated their activities into three groups and formed three new companies to cater for these. Their research and development work is now carried out by the Lantra National Training Organisation, their training services is carried out by Lantra Awards and their management training and business development services is called Agenda Training.
