Originally established in 2000 as Kissing With Confidence, KWC Global has evolved into a global firm in business development, communication, and pitching skills. The company delivers training programmes to blue chip organisations across the world, underpinned by the belief that “every professional is a salesperson.”

Now a 15-strong team, with a growing pool of 15 associates, KWC Global credits its growth to the dedication, talent, and expertise of its people.

Husband and wife co-founders Russell Wardrop and Sharon McLellan said: “We teach business development because we live it – triple-digit growth over 4 years. That success is only possible because of the exceptional work our team delivers day in, day out for our clients.”

In 2020, when in-person training came to a halt, KWC Global re-engineered its programmes for virtual delivery, enabling it to train teams anytime, anywhere. The rebrand from Kissing With Confidence to KWC Global reflected its expanding international presence – a move that has accelerated growth and strengthened client relationships worldwide.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the company is marking the milestone with a series of free, monthly, online masterclasses. Already attracting over a thousand registrations in 2025, these high-impact sessions tackle the most pressing challenges in pitching, presenting, and business development.

“Confidence has always been at the heart of what we do,” said Mr Wardrop. “Whether we’re working with a global law firm or a Big Four, our mission is the same – to activate business growth through results-driven training… and create rainmakers. Our team’s commitment and creativity make that possible.”
