The informal training session with Aidan/KCL was really useful – not only for the talk but for future presentations too. The tried and tested approaches that Aidan was able to talk me through helped to give me confidence and feel relaxed and prepared for engaging with the audience. The talk in question went very well and I am looking forward to putting the techniques into practice again the next time I speak to a group!
I met Melanie for initial free 15 minutes consultation, which ended being over an hour long as we clicked straight away! She “figured me out” so quickly, that trust was built easily and I can see myself in her capable hands leading me towards my goal and establishing myself.

Very informative. The trainer had great presentational skills and was very engaging.
Trainer was friendly and helpful. If something wasn’t understood by any of the ‘students’ Aidan would patiently explain in detail what needed to be done.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked with Aidan on a remote basis; he in Spain and I in Texas. In spite of the vast difference in time zones, I’ve always found him to be responsive and easily accessible I never have to wait long for a response to any question or comment that I make to him. In short, he is responsive to those he works with and quickly follows though with assigned tasks. He follows direction and produces solid quality work. I would not hesitate to work with him again.
I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Aidan and his consultancy on several occasions. I consistently observed his proficiency as a subject matter expert in IT solutions, characterised by practical and logical approaches, coupled with his cool level head!I look forward to working with him again!
Aidan is very knowledgeable but also personable and approachable. He knows when to switch from geek speak to language the rest of us can understand, but he also doesn’t patronise, which is important in an IT professional. We would definitely come to Kirkpatrick Consult again and would recommend him to other small businesses.
I used Aidan initially to recreate my company website. During this time his knowledge and skills in the workings, design and marketing of websites were second to none.

He has this unique talent for understanding each organization’s specific needs, regardless of size or industry, and tailoring his approach accordingly.
When it comes to Microsoft technologies, Aidan is simply my go-to expert. His knowledge of the Microsoft ecosystem is encyclopedic – from SharePoint and Microsoft 365 administration to complex PowerAutomate integrations. But it’s not just breadth; it’s the depth of understanding that allows him to leverage these tools in ways that genuinely transform how businesses operate.
His solid foundation in SQL and DevOps within the Microsoft environment perfectly complements technical teams, making collaboration seamless and outcomes more robust. Aidan doesn’t just implement solutions; he builds systems that scale and evolve with the business.
