“Kirkwood Consulting provides an outstanding service and a high level of client care. I would definitely recommend Kirkwood Consulting and I will always be grateful to Sarah and her team for doing an excellent job in finding me the perfect role within a challenging climate.”
“I would like to thank you and the team at Kirkwood Consulting for the assistance in looking for the right job for me. I was looking for any work, but your team helped me to realise my own potential and instead of looking for a job, I am now embarking on a career in the careers service. I originally thought that my lack of skills and qualifications would be a hindrance in this field but I was advised to gain the experience through voluntary work. I am now a volunteer at one of the UK’s largest training and careers organisations and I am being trained in this field of work, I am also assisting a local charity in helping them fill a position. This has turned out to be beneficial and life changing experience for me. So once again thank you for giving me the confidence to go back to work.”
Kirkwood Consulting is the number 1 choice for training and recruitment solutions to our clients within the welfare to work, skills, education, and engineering sector.
“Sarah and her team provide a high quality recruitment service, quickly delivering the right candidates and going the extra mile to find people that will work well within her client’s organisation.”
I worked with Sarah over a number of years as a main freelance tutor provider. Sarah is professional, responsive and always tried her very best to meet the frequently changing demands we required. Sarah and her team are adaptive to the contract requirements and would go over and above to not just deliver excellent customer service but understood the business needs too.
I have worked with Sarah for a number of years and her service has been outstanding. As well as delivering high quality programmes of education, she would always go the extra mile to help, and find solutions at short notice. Sarah could competently help with all aspects of adult skills, including delivering courses, writing workbooks, obtaining referrals and introducing partnerships. I regularly included her in continuous improvement strategies, due to her robust knowledge and strong competencies.
I have worked with Sarah for several months now and throughout that time she has been knowledgeable, proactive and communicative – always willing to go the extra mile. Her passion for the business is evident and she is a pleasure to work with.
After completing the Civil Service course, I applied for a job with Ministry of Justice and shortly after received an invite to an interview. After I was interviewed, I was called back within a couple hours to be offered the role. I am now in employment following the completion of the course. It was a really useful course, it helped me with my confidence to interview and to understand the civil service job application process.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support provided to me during my recent course. From the moment I shared my dyspraxia with you, your understanding and encouragement made a significant difference in my experience. In just one week, I received more support than I have in my entire educational journey since I was 16. You saw me as an individual with potential, not as someone who might hold the group back, and that made all the difference. Your approach, which allowed me to navigate the course without feeling overly dependent, was precisely what I needed.
It was truly a pleasure to be part of such a dynamic and supportive group. This course has shown me that a positive experience can indeed transform past perceptions.
Toyin covered a lot of ground and detail on the data analysis course that we didn’t cover in the Master’s level Business Intelligence course, I’ve just completed at Brunel. I would highly recommend this course to those who are interested in knowing more about this crucial field.
Leadership & Management
Developing leaders who move people forward. Strong leadership isn’t built through abstract frameworks, it grows when managers understand themselves, understand the people they lead and feel ready to handle real workplace pressures. Our programmes are created with that in mind. They are practical, human and shaped around the demands of your organisation, not a generic curriculum.
Recruitment
Recruitment shaped around capability, contribution and long-term fit. At Kirkwood Consulting, recruitment is approached with care and depth. We support employers who want hiring that is ethical, consistent and built around genuine potential. Our role is to help you bring in people who strengthen culture, raise performance and stay long enough to make an impact.
Business Transformation & Consultancy
Practical transformation for organisations navigating real change. We support employers who need to reshape their workforce, strengthen leadership, improve culture, redesign operations or prepare for large-scale growth. Our role is to make the work manageable and to bring structure to complex challenges so that people feel supported, not overwhelmed.
Skills & Employment
Supporting professionals back into meaningful work. Skills shortages, shifting labour markets and evolving employer expectations mean that many capable people struggle to re-enter the workforce – not because they lack talent, but because they lack tailored support. Our Skills & Employment programmes are designed to bridge that gap.
International Training & Consultancy
Global insight with culturally aware delivery. Kirkwood Consulting has spent years supporting organisations across the UAE, Canada, Africa, Europe and Asia. Our international work is built on a simple goal: training and consultancy must be shaped around the cultural, economic and organisational realities of each region. That is what makes our global partnerships so successful.
