A training business which helps people take confidence from crises is reporting record growth after steering clients through Covid and economic decline.
Debbie Kuhr-Jones, director of K2 Training Services Ltd, said her workload has doubled due to the combination of increased demand for remote training and recurring interest in her long-term specialist area of post-redundancy support.
She was driven to setting up the business after experiencing redundancy twice herself. In 1998 she lost her job as a typist so used her pay-off to upskill herself while also picking up various jobs to pay the bills and learn about technology. That commitment led to her becoming training manager at a Hull-based IT company and when that closed in 2007 she decided to go it alone offering specialist Microsoft tuition.
