Vocational training provider PHX Training has appointed Louise Kirby as one of its new business leaders.

Louise joins the Blackpool office and has more than two decades of expertise in the welfare-to-work and employability sector from her time at Ingenus Working Well Work and Health in Manchester where she played a pivotal role in supporting learners with complex needs.  

Throughout her career, she has managed major employability contracts including New Deal, the Work Programme, Working Well and Pioneer, all supporting unemployed individuals through tailored employment assistance and skills development.

Louise will lead the delivery of the Skills and Restart contracts in Blackpool, focusing on performance, quality, and team development to enhance the impact PHX Training has on local communities through tailored support and meaningful outcomes.

 Louise said: “My passion has always been centred around the participant and learner. I want every individual who walks through our doors to have the best possible experience and feel supported in achieving their goals. PHX offers a local, community-driven approach that really resonated with me. From day one, I’ve felt part of something special.”
