When your mate comes to you for a chat. A chat you’ve had several times over the years, but this time it’s different, well, you listen….
James Turver or Jamie as I know him, has been a mate of mine since we worked together back in 2013 ish.
From a sales background but new to recruitment, we quickly hit it off.
I distracted him, he distracted me and a friendship was born π
Two things stick in my mind which has become a source of friendly banter over the years:
1 – His love of ham sandwiches on white bread
2 – His polished attire, always looking good but often prioritising form over function, particularly with his fancy shoes that always got wet in the winter. π€£ Should have gone to Clarks mate. I never have a wet feet π
He also went to school with Mrs Pamela Lloyd π so there’s plenty of history.
We’ve talked about working together in business a few times over the years, but the timing or opportunity was never right.
Until now π
Jamie came to me with an idea. An idea not too dissimilar to the idea behind Woodstock Recruitment Ltd.
Provide a great service. Commit to those that value your service. Be decent and ethical in your approach. Rinse and repeat. β€οΈ
It’s simple π‘
So, the long and short of it is, Woodstock Recruitment Ltd now has a sister company that is Turver Jones, a boutique, values driven, recruitment business that offers services to the accountancy and finance sectors.
Commitment, trust and collaboration go a very long way to making great things happen.
Here’s to your new business James Turver, with your work ethic, skills and values, I have absolutely no doubt you will make a great success of it! π
