As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting not just on the milestones we’ve achieved but on the impact those milestones represent. Growth is not just about numbers or accolades; it’s about the stories, the transformations, and the legacies we leave behind.
This year, both personally and through Tritek Academy, we’ve celebrated extraordinary growth. But what inspires me most is knowing that this is only the beginning.
What Growth Really Means
Growth is often perceived as a series of wins, promotions, or accolades. But in my experience, true growth lies in the moments we stretch beyond what we thought possible.
This year, Tritek Consulting celebrated being named one of the Top 20 Black-Owned Businesses in the UK; a recognition that honors not just our business success but the thousands of lives we’ve impacted. From helping over 1,000 individuals transition into tech careers to launching the Tritek Digital Library, our focus has always been on creating opportunities where there were none.
But growth isn’t just about what we’ve done; it’s about the seeds we’ve planted for the future. The programmes we’ve introduced, the partnerships we’ve forged, and the communities we’ve empowered will continue to bear fruit long after the year ends.
For me, growth is deeply personal. It’s about constantly stepping into new challenges, whether that’s starting as a banker, thriving as a project manager, or leading a global EdTech organisation. Each chapter has taught me that growth is a choice; a deliberate decision to embrace discomfort and move forward, even when the path is unclear.

The Legacy We Build Together
Legacy isn’t something we create in isolation; it’s what happens when we empower others to succeed.
This year, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring young women in my local community, speaking to them about entrepreneurship, resilience, and the power of dreaming big. Seeing their eyes light up as they realise what’s possible reminds me why I do this work.
At Tritek, legacy is about more than training candidates for tech roles. It’s about equipping them to lead, innovate, and inspire in their own spaces. Whether it’s a retail worker transitioning into project management or a stay-at-home parent stepping into business analysis, every success story adds to the tapestry of what we’re building.
The Tritek Digital Library, launched this year, is a prime example. This resource isn’t just a tool; it’s a lifeline for learners worldwide. With real-world templates, guides, and training materials, we’re ensuring that anyone with ambition can take that critical first step.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for 2025
As we stand on the brink of a new year, I’m filled with anticipation for what’s to come.
In 2025, we’re not just continuing our work; we’re expanding it. Expect more programmes tailored to the evolving needs of industries like AI, data science, and cybersecurity. We’ll also host events that inspire collaboration and innovation, bringing professionals together to create something bigger than themselves.
Personally, I’m stepping into new ventures that excite and challenge me. While I can’t reveal everything just yet, know this: my focus remains on creating spaces where growth and empowerment flourish.
For you, the reader, my hope is that 2025 becomes the year you take bold steps toward your own growth. Whether that’s transitioning careers, starting a new business, or simply believing in yourself a little more, the future is yours to shape.
Your Invitation to the Journey
Growth and legacies go hand in hand. One fuels the other, creating a cycle of impact that ripples far beyond our immediate reach.
As we move into 2025, I invite you to join this journey; not just as a spectator but as an active participant. Whether through our programmes at Tritek Academy or by connecting with me personally, let’s build something extraordinary together.
Growth isn’t a destination; it’s a mindset. And legacies? They’re the stories we write along the way. Let’s make them remarkable.
Here’s to growth, legacies, and everything in between.
