Helen Madden

Managing Director and Co-Owner

Meet Helen Madden, the Co-Owner and Managing Director powerhouse behind Vocation Training and Vocation Recruitment- your go-to-source for all things Traffic Management in the West Midlands and beyond. Helen's no ordinary Managing Director- she's a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a passion for making work-life barriers vanish into thin air. Since 2009, Helen has been a wizard in the Welfare to Work realm, sprinkling her expertise on advising, consulting, coordinating, and managing teams. She's the kind of person who has seen it all, working with folks from all walks of life who just needed a helping hand.

Fast forward to 2017 when Helen and her partner-in-cone-crime, Lewis, birthed Vocation Training into existence. Their mission? Helping people break through life's barriers and get ahead in their careers. Based in the vibrant heart of the Black Country, Vocation Training offers top-notch Traffic Management training with a special employer-focused twist. We're thrilled to report that we empower over 200 learners each year! But here's the kicker: Vocation Training isn't just another face in the crowd, they're prime contractors on not one, but two ongoing contracts. Helen's commitment to delivering on promises is unwavering, and she is eager to see where life takes the Vocation family from the brand-new Quinton, Birmingham, headquarters.

Now, when Helen isn't immersed in the world of Traffic Management, you might catch her striking a pose in yoga class, showing some love to her feline friends, or sipping on a refreshing brew. The Vocation Team likes to think of her as our resident yogi-cat-beer enthusiast, adding her unique understanding to the world of Traffic Management and recruitment. Cheers to Helen and her incredible journey!
