- Expanding and the future: Hi all, as many of you know with my recent posts I have been contemplating my next steps with BK3 and it’s future. Recently I have questioning whether I have the desire to want to continue or whether i should allow my company to be tarnished with the same brush as others that are willing to cut corners to make a quick sale or think they are helping staff but offering a ‘quicker’ course, especially as I believe the journey has become more of ‘Fire fighting’ process than one of joy by training to the standard, seeing friends once again or making new ones. I sat down with my family, phoned my mentors and discussed it with friends just to find out if i was talking crap, like normal, or if my concerns were warranted….my wife told me the same thing i often tell others…’We have an obligation to the public to ensure they get from A to B safely, we take pride in the job that we do, we ensure the staff doing the job are safe enough, with the knowledge we give them, to be able to go home to their loved ones at the end of each shift’. Regardless of what others do I will not let it take me away from what i set out to do almost 19 years ago…..I said I would offer the best of I what I could and I honestly do believe that, to date, I have done so, if I haven’t, I apologise…..So this brings me to today, so many people have travelled to us from all parts of the country and have shown us the loyalty and commitment to learn, something I am extremely proud of and on this day I am still the proud owner and MD of BK3 Training Limited, whether I will be in the future: God only knows, but I am today and the vision I set out all those years ago is something I still thrive to achieve so I am excited to say that, after much thought, I have decided that I will expanding BK3 Training Limited. We will be looking at opening Training Centre’ in both the South and North of England, to be able to offer our clients the same service we have done, with pride, to date ….will it take time?…..Yes, absolutely!!!, no doubt and I have no illusions about the enormous task I am about to undertake and I will need the help of a lot of good people….but I am ready for this next step!. The updates will come as and when I have them, in the meantime God bless you all and keep safe.
- Updated April 2020: COVID-19 Update: Given the current situation with COVID-19 I would just like reassure everyone that we are currently still conducting our scheduled courses; we understand some people may be reluctant to attend and may feel the need to cancel their places to be safe. We completely understand and respect your decision and will can officially inform you that, with new information coming out our Government on a daily basis, should you feel the need to discuss the next course of action we would be more than happy to inform you of the steps we are taking to ensure our training school is safe and cleaned regularly, however if you still feel the need to cancel we will happily do so at no cost and will reschedule you onto our next available course.
