Our story

The company has successfully delivered Training, Assessing, Careers Advice and Internal Quality Assurance to a number of diverse organisations including HE education, Further Education Colleges, Corporate companies, Local Authorities and Community Projects.
In 2004 it changed the name to Personal Improvement Ltd and in 2006 Anna Papakosta took over the business as a CEO and company director.
We provide careers advice and support with training, coaching and mentoring of individuals to effectively search for employment within their chosen career.
We have been a Careers Advice Centre funded by the Education Skills Funding Agency since 2004 to provide National Careers Service to adults.
We believe in inspiring individuals to realise their potential, develop their skills and achieve their goals.
