Our story

Who we are

We started Skillz2Success because we kept seeing the same thing.


Brilliant people who didn't know they were brilliant.

People who'd been knocked back, written off, or had simply stopped believing things could be different. And we couldn't walk past that.


So we built something that goes further than a course. A space where people feel genuinely seen, maybe for the first time in a long time. Where the focus isn't on what someone lacks, but on what's already inside them waiting to come out.


We work across the UK with individuals facing barriers to employment, redundancy, health challenges, neurodiversity, and more.

But whatever brings someone to us, the outcome is always the same.

They leave believing in themselves again.

And when that happens, everything changes.

What we do

We design and deliver programmes that do something most training doesn't.

They change how people feel about themselves.

Mindset, confidence, resilience, self-belief, these are called soft skills. We call them the foundations of everything. Because no CV, qualification, or job interview technique works if the person delivering it doesn't believe they're worth it.


We work with individuals across the UK, in group workshops, one-to-one sessions, virtually and in person, meeting people exactly where they are.


Over six years we've delivered government funded contracts nationwide, supporting people through unemployment, redundancy, health challenges, neurodiversity, and self-employment.

But the thread running through all of it is simple.


We help people get out of their own way and start moving forward.

Why we do it

We've never met someone without potential.


We have met plenty who'd stopped believing in theirs.


People who'd been knocked back, overlooked, or stuck for longer than they ever expected. People who'd started to believe that this was as good as it gets.

That's where we come in.

We create moments where something shifts. Where someone walks out different to how they walked in. More certain. More grounded. More them.


We see it every day. Small wins turning into bigger ones. Confidence growing. Momentum building.

And once that starts, it doesn't stop.


That's why we do what we do.

Meet Laura

Founder & MD, Skillz2Success | FIEP | MD of the Year 2024

Nobody gave me a rulebook. Nobody handed me a plan.

What I got was a chance.


Someone looked past the lack of qualifications, past the missing experience, and took a bet on me. They said I had the right attitude and that everything else could be taught. That one decision changed the entire direction of my life.


Before that, I was that person. Jumping from job to job, bored within months, always chasing something I couldn't name. What I didn't realise was that I was already learning something valuable. Every job I went for, I got. Every interview, every CV. I was quietly mastering something from the other side of the table without even knowing it.


When someone finally pointed that out, everything clicked.


I threw myself in. Learned the craft properly. Got genuinely good at helping people move forward and started to see what was possible when someone finally believed in themselves. I progressed, I grew, and then I wanted more. Not more title. More freedom. More impact.


So I went freelance. Travelled the country. Built something. Then in September 2020 I took the biggest leap of my life and started Skillz2Success. I didn't have all the answers. I figured it out anyway. By January 2021 we had won our first government contract.


I never looked back.


Today I lead a team of brilliant freelancers, most of them with me from the very beginning, delivering programmes that genuinely change lives across the UK. I'm a Fellow of the Institute of Employability Professionals. In 2024 I was named MD of the Year.


That award hit differently.


Because around the same time I was diagnosed with ADHD. And suddenly my whole life made sense. The creativity. The drive. The restlessness. The jumping from job to job never quite feeling like enough. It was never a weakness. It was always the thing that made me different.


I built this company, won government contracts, and found my place in this sector. Not despite who I am, but entirely because of it.


And that is exactly what I believe for every single person I work with.


Nothing is impossible. It doesn't matter where you started, what's on your CV, or what life has thrown at you.


I'm living proof that the right chance at the right moment can change everything.


And sometimes you have to be that chance for yourself.
