our story

In truth, it all started as a way of bringing up the children by the beach. To live a less ordinary life.

Born in 2004 as a boutique learning and development company, Kirkstone seems to have gone rather well. We work with some of the biggest and smallest brands in the world and continue to grow at a healthy rate. We also seem to be making a genuine difference.

I've met some fantastic providers in my 30 years in people development so I know we're not unique. We do however seem to be up there with the best. Consistently.

We do pretty well as human beings too.
