Co-Founder and Director Chris became increasingly frustrated that progressing his 15-year career in the Learning & Development sector had made a huge impact on his family both financially and physically. The courses he needed were either expensive, too far away or not running when he needed them, or simply didn’t have the accreditation he needed to make the qualification transferable.

After gaining his Certificate in Education, Chris decided enough was enough and wanted to bridge the gap between affordable, quality education and training, and the practicalities of life, by accessing courses 24/7 – 365 days.

At the same time his wife and Co-Founder, Angie had found a keen interest in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and decided to take a leap of faith. After over 15 years in her financial role within local government, she took voluntary redundancy which obviously sparked a contemplation about their future.

Aligning in their passion to empower others affordably and accessibly, through Coaching and Training, KMF Training & Consultancy Ltd was born.

Their daughter named the company after watching the Disney film "Meet the Robinsons" and read the quote by Walt Disney... "Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

"It’s quite simple" she said "That’s us! We should be named Keep Moving Forward!". This is a quote that resonated so deeply with us and we stand by today - and the rest they say is history!
