STRATEGY, ENERGY & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

Nat leads across the business with clarity and drive — championing people, driving performance, and always ready with support (or a dog photo).

Natalie
Director
With a wealth of industry experience, my business partners and I launched Workforce Skills Support to raise the standard of training in the construction industry — not just through the quality of delivery, but by providing the kind of support that makes the whole process easier and more valuable for our clients. Our goal is to create a culture where great service is not just expected — it’s celebrated by the entire team.

DECADES OF CONSTRUCTION & PLANT EXPERIENCE

Big on site knowledge, bigger on personality. Keeps things moving — and everyone smiling.

Mark
Director
In 2007, myself and two colleagues — all with years of experience in the construction industry — set out to create a business that focused on delivering high-quality, specialist training and qualifications. That goal led to the creation of Workforce Skills Support. Today, we only deliver what we know we do best, ensuring clients receive expert-led, reliable support every step of the way.
