Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is Europe’s largest HR and development professional body. As an internationally recognised brand with over 135,000 members across 120 countries, we pride ourselves on supporting and developing those responsible for the management and development of people within organisations.

Information Commissioner’s Office

The Information Commissioner’s Office is the UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals.

The REC represents more than 8,000 corporate members comprising agencies and businesses from all sectors and 6,000 members of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals (IRP) made up of recruitment consultants and other industry professionals.

Kirkwood Consulting adheres to The Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s Code of Professional Practice that has been created in consultation with industry stakeholders to ensure that all members of the REC conduct their businesses ethically and to the highest standards and to promote good practice within REC membership.

Employment Related Services Association

The Employment Related Services Association (ERSA) is a membership organisation for providers of welfare to work services. 95% of the Work Programme prime contracts are held by ERSA members and we represent 90% of providers for Work Choice, the specialist disability programme. ERSA exists to support its members in their drive to deliver quality services to aid people into sustainable employment. The overarching objectives of the Employment Related Services Association are to: act as the premier voice of the welfare to work industry to government, media and the general public.

DWP supports the government’s commitment to being transparent about public finances.

 

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.
