We have officially launched a new specialist training division, KR SkillsHub.
This initiative represents a major investment in Scotland’s construction workforce. It delivers NPORS-accredited training shaped by real site conditions and industry demands.
What will KR SkillsHub offer?
Based at KR Group’s headquarters in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire, SkillsHub will operate across Scotland. The division offers nationally recognised training in lifting operations, working at height, earthworks, plant operation, and health and safety compliance.
With mobile delivery options and courses built by industry experts, KR SkillsHub serves both employers and individuals seeking practical, career-focused qualifications.
“Skills gaps and safety standards continue to challenge construction across the UK,” said Kenny Robertson, Managing Director of KR Group Scotland. “KR SkillsHub makes it easier for contractors and workers to access certified training — whether on-site or at our Aberdeenshire facility.”
Backed by NPORS, KR SkillsHub delivers qualifications recognised nationwide. Its mission is simple: keep employers compliant and give workers skills that boost productivity, reduce risk, and open new career doors.
The division already has a busy calendar of courses. It will work with contractors, public sector bodies, and employability programmes to extend opportunities for those entering or re-entering construction.
Nicola Fraser, Business Director at KR Group says:
“What sets us apart is our flexibility and industry focus. We understand the reality of busy sites, so our training fits around operations — without compromising quality or outcomes.”
KR SkillsHub trainers bring over 25 years of combined experience in construction, engineering, and vocational training. They will deliver courses to both KR Group staff and external delegates across Scotland.
The division will also support regional development by partnering with local colleges and councils. The goal is to tackle labour shortages and create clear training-to-employment pipelines.
Courses are open to individuals, SMEs, and large contractors, with tailored packages available. Visit KR SkillsHub Training – KR Group to find out more.
