Sarah Vakilpour – Director, Techknital Fabrics Ltd
Initially we approached KTL to assist in the recruitment and training of our new apprenticeship position. It was however identified that two of our employees both mature males could access training as well that would benefit the business.
They were understandably reluctant as both had been out of education for almost 30 years. Bev put them at ease within minutes and throughout the journey they looked forward to her visits so they could present the work they had completed. Both achieved their qualification and surpassed requirements and although they were already highly competent employees the training has given them added confidence. This has been reflected in a new found energy to make recommendations for operational improvement, and undertake tasks they would have previously considered outside of the knowledge base. The benefits have been ongoing.
Howard Richardson – Buckley Lamb Ltd
Thanks to KTL, 80% of our employees including management, supervisors, warehousing and production staff have achieved NVQ qualifications. A level one standard was required by the company with most now having progressed onto a level 2.
Ivan Pratt – Woodfield Industries
Dear Beverley and Chris, I have been delighted in the way that you have both realised the reasonable adjustments that are required when working alongside my staff. The innovative ways that you have adopted to ensure that my staff are able to complete and achieve nationally recognised qualifications is a complement to you both.

Mel Freeman – Courtaulds (UK) Ltd
At West Mill, Belper have been working with KTL on a number of projects over the last 3 years and more recently, NVQs including Customer Service, Business Admin, Performing Manufacturing Operations and Manufacturing Textiles (level 2 and 3). This opportunity was offered to all employees at all levels to develop their skills and the feedback and response has been extremely positive. the employees have been so enthusiastic, which has increased motivation and productivity. Its not just about the qualification, seeing the boost in employees confidence as a result of this training is priceless. It makes great business sense to encourage staff to get into the habit of lifelong learning and this is only the start of the journey for Courtaulds (UK) Ltd. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Team at KTL for their professionalism, guidance, flexibility and support over the years and I look forward to working with them in the future.
