Success stories

Here's what some of our current employees have to say about the career and personal development opportunities they've received while at the KCOM Group:

"I've been at KCOM for over six years and have had some excellent training and development during my time here. The KCOM Group has helped my career development by retraining me in PRINCE2 project management methodology (foundation and practitioner) and subsequently the tailored developing management excellence course. I've also been lucky enough to be sponsored on the Executive MBA programme at Hull University Business School."
- Paul Murphy, Senior Project Manager, BTTS, Hull.

"After joining the company four years ago as a Modern Apprentice, I have developed a wide range of skills which have stood me in good stead in my trainee management role."
- Mark Blenkinsop, Assistant Regional Property Co-ordinator, Hull.

"I began my career at the KCOM Group some six years ago as a Customer Service Engineer moving on to a Senior Engineer role before recently becoming a Regional Engineering Team Leader. The KCOM Group has provided an excellent career path and opportunities, not only with Nortel and Cisco technical training and manufacture accreditation but also external management training to help develop my new role."
- Chris Delahoyde, Regional Engineering Team Leader, Kcom Field Engineering, Home Based.

"I came to the KCOM Group fresh from University over four years ago, as a customer services consultant. Within six months, I began my management career in operations, managing people, then moved on to more strategic roles in Marketing and Customer Experience. Throughout the whole time, the company has shown great faith in me and has been committed to helping me develop my management skills and commercial knowledge. The KCOM Group has given me the skills and confidence to tackle some very large scale projects in a new and innovative way. I have learnt to become inquisitive, challenging, hard working and collaborative; to not just accept the status quo and to always strive for the best. The philosophy here is to empower people, so that they go out to achieve their best and fulfil their potential. In my current job, I get to deal with a very wide range of issues that keep me on my feet and constantly growing personally and professionally. I have a lot more to learn, and new opportunities to go at, but am confident that the KCOM Group will be there to support me."
- Paul Nickerson, Usability and Web Optimisation Manager, KC, Online Services Design & Development, Hull

"I began working at the KCOM Group as Marketing Assistant and after just over a year was promoted to Marketing Executive. I have taken part in various training courses such as Kingston Academy, Writing for Digital Media and Exhibitions Masterclass which have all helped towards my progression."
- Claire Holmes, Marketing Manager, KC Business, Consumer and Partners, Marketing - Marketing Services, Hull.

"I have been at the KCOM Group for over seven years, selling the Hull Colour and White Pages directories and Internet products. I started as a Trainee in Telesales, as I had no previous sales experience and through internal and external training courses progressed to a Field Sales Account Executive position. In the last few years with the help and support of my manager, I have been promoted again to a Senior Account Executive in the Publishing Services area of the business. A personal achievement of mine was earlier this year when I was nominated by the management team for the KCOM Group 'Employee of the year Award'. It was nice to know that although the KCOM Group is a very large company, you do get recognition for the work and effort you put in."
- Clare Wilson, New Business Sales Executive, Publishing Services, Hull.
