Simply Learning appoints new managing director

Jarrow-based training provider Simply Learning has named Claire Irving as managing director to lead its next phase of growth.

Specialising in construction, utilities and green skills training, Simply Learning was acquired by Simply Certification and UK National in 2023 and has since been overseen by Alexandra Gates.

Claire’s appointment marks a new chapter for the company as it expands its national presence and strengthens its role in skills development across key industries.

Alexandra said: “Claire’s appointment comes at a crucial time as the demand for high-quality, accredited training continues to rise within the industry.

“Claire brings a strong background in both training and construction, and under her leadership, Simply Learning will expand its support for construction companies, helping them meet industry standards and help address the skills shortage. 

“We are excited to welcome Claire to the team.”

Claire added: “Training and skills development are absolutely vital to the success of the industry and we need to encourage people into construction and green skills now more than ever before. 

“I’m excited to lead Simply Learning in this next phase of growth.”
