Award-winning business coach Kevin Riley has officially become a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) the world’s leading organisation dedicated to advancing the coaching profession.
For business owners, this means extra peace of mind when choosing a business coach who’s not only experienced but also recognised by a respected global body.
Let’s talk about your business
What the ICF Represents
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) sets professional and ethical standards for coaches across the world. While business coaching remains an unregulated industry in the UK, ICF membership and the additional membership of the UK Chapter of the ICF is a voluntary commitment to professionalism and ongoing development.
In simple terms, it shows that Kevin takes his craft seriously.
Members must demonstrate extensive experience, training, and a continued commitment to ethical practice and high-quality outcomes.
Kevin’s acceptance into the ICF recognises the hundreds of hours of hands-on coaching, mentoring, and training he’s delivered to business owners across the UK and internationally.
Why This Matters for Business Owners
Choosing a business coach can feel risky.
There’s no governing body for business coaching, and the quality of coaches varies widely.
That’s why credentials, experience, and verified results matter.
As well as Kevin’s Awards, Client Testimonials and Scaling Up Certification, Kevin’s ICF membership provides reassurance that you’re working with someone who:
-
Operates under a recognised code of ethics
-
Has completed extensive coach training and professional development
-
Brings years of real-world business experience alongside coaching expertise
-
Is dedicated to continual improvement and measurable client results

This combination of real-world experience, proven systems, and professional coaching discipline is what makes Kevin one of the most trusted business coaches in the UK.
Professional Standards in Business Coaching
Because the business coaching industry is unregulated, anyone can call themselves a coach.
But not everyone invests the time and training to become part of a recognised professional body.
That’s why ICF membership is significant, it signals to clients that Kevin’s coaching meets global professional standards.
For business owners, it’s a simple message: you’re in safe hands.
