Instant Training was established in 2003 and is headed up by managing director Helen Carr. The company now has six full-time instructors and runs more than 60 different training courses both in the UK and also in partnership with United Equipment Rentals in Dubai where it has delivered training for the past four years.

The company says that it is planning to increase its training portfolio further in 2010 and introduce Harness Rescue Training and CPC for Road Haulage, while increasing its Forklift training.
