Dear Customers
October 2021 marks 19 months after the Covid crisis first reared its ugly and disruptive head. We are all still not “out of the woods” fully, but there have been some considerable developments that are helping us on the road to recovery.
With October arriving, we notice a different feel to everything; the weather is changing, children are fully back to school, the roads are busier, and offices are starting to open their doors to more of their staff. Read more →

In today’s recruitment climate, technology has ironically made it both easier and more difficult to land your dream role.
Business has never seemed so uncertain. Despite over a century of management thinking, research, and thought leadership, nothing could have prepared business leaders for a global pandemic which would result in the global economy being forced into lockdown and vast numbers of the workforce prevented from going to work.
At the end of 2019, the changes that thought leaders were focused on was that promised by industrial revolution 4.0; digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. These changes remain on the horizon but have been joined by a societal level threat – Covid-19. Industrial revolution 4.0 has been superseded by an era that has no name.
There is going to be a breaking apart and a major extinction event in our business environment. What is clear is that the reliance on management models that were written last century are no longer fit for purpose.
Instead, it is time for new thinking about models of organisation, management, business, and work. New thinking that is long overdue.

Dear Customers
A year we never want to repeat – 2020 was full of surprises and forced everyone out of their comfort zones. The economy shrank by an unprecedented degree and we mostly swapped office life for home-working.
Our local competitors also had eventful years with UK turnover for the quoted recruitment businesses shrinking by 30-40% and financial concerns arising for others.
At times it felt like we were paddling fast to stand still but as we look back we are proud that we managed to greatly exceed our downbeat financial forecasts and that we added to our team numbers. Read more →
