✨ As we welcome in 2026, I look ahead with real excitement as personal business growth continues. ✨
As Trusted Training, my original business project continues to excel and strengthen its reputation. What started as a clear vision has grown through consistency, quality delivery, and responding to the needs of those we support.
Following many requests to expand our excellent provision, January 2026 sees the official launch of our sister company, Paediatric First Aid (South West), offering specialist training to anyone who works with or has contact with children. This expansion reflects both demand and our commitment to raising standards and confidence in essential life-saving skills.
2026 also represents a significant personal milestone. Following excellent mentoring and support from John Shaw, April 2026 will see me step into the role of Senior Partner at True Blue Training Solutions LP, as John steps down to enjoy a well-earned retirement. I would like to sincerely thank John for trusting me to take over the company he founded back in 2013 and for the guidance he has shared throughout this journey. I look forward to continuing to deliver our excellent range of accredited and bespoke courses while building on the strong foundations already in place.
🚀 Growth doesn’t happen without challenge.
Every new role, expansion, or transition brings responsibility, pressure, and moments of uncertainty. But challenge is often where the most meaningful development happens — personally and professionally. My biggest lesson so far has been learning to lean into change rather than resist it.
To anyone navigating their own business journey:
Say yes to opportunities that stretch you
Invest in learning and mentoring
Trust the work you’ve already put in
I’m proud of how far these businesses have come and excited for what lies ahead. Onwards and upwards!
