Post-Covid, it’s always lovely to get out of the office, meet new clients, and spend time with existing ones, especially on a beautiful summer’s day in York. Productive meetings and even the two-hour drive provided some much-needed headspace away from the office. 🌞🚗 #ClientMeetings #York 

Today, the UK is witnessing a significant change in government, with Labour achieving a landslide victory. Regardless of political views, change can often bring new opportunities and fresh perspectives. At Readysalted, we’ve had the privilege of working with the Labour party, but this post isn't about bias, it’s about embracing the positive potential of change. We’re feeling optimistic about what the future holds and believe that sometimes, change is just what’s needed to drive progress. After Brexit, Donald Trump, Covid-19, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it feels good to have something positive to think about. #ChangeIsGood #NewBeginnings #BusinessGrowth

It was great to attend the North East Chamber of Commerce members event at the 3SIXTY Champagne Lounge, a luxurious spot I've been eager to visit. The 360 views of Newcastle did not disappoint! Enjoyed meeting new faces. It’s a reminder I should get out to these events more often! #Networking #NECC #Newcastle

British Summer, it's lovely to finally welcome you back! 🌞⚫⚪ #newcastle #newcastleupontyne #quayside

2024 has brought some really interesting clients to Readysalted so far, and we've been fortunate to stay busy. However, being constantly on the go comes with its challenges, including almost no time off, which can lead to burnout. Finally took a much-needed break to Spain 🇪🇸 with friends for some sun, beach, and watching the Euros to recharge. Now, I’m back and ready than ever to take on the world! Remember, finding balance isn't just nice, it's necessary. 🌞⚽🌊 #BusinessLife #WorkLifeBalance #Euro2024 

Reading about Elon Musk's $45bn pay package approval by Tesla shareholders really makes you reflect on the essence of entrepreneurship. While we all need money to sustain and grow our businesses, it's important to remember that it shouldn't be the sole driver. For me, the true rewards of entrepreneurship come from delivering great work and building meaningful relationships with clients, not just the financial outcomes. That is a by-product. It's concerning to see such staggering sums in executive compensation. I mean, come on, who could ever need that much money?! #BusinessEthics #Leadership #Entrepreneurship https://lnkd.in/eYD8ada3

When you realise Euro 2024 kicks off tomorrow and trying to focus on work is almost impossible! 🎉⚽

Do you ever have those "remember when I quit my job all those years ago to start a business... and now I'm here" moments? Well, this is one of them 🤯 We were recently back in the capital to water the soil of a new and exciting client, all part of our efforts to expand our London client base. 🇬🇧 Readysalted delivered a strategic workshop with Experis - a mammoth-sized enterprise-level tech solutions provider operating in 75 countries. 💻 Under the ManpowerGroup umbrella, Experis is a global leader in IT, engineering, and finance staffing and solutions. They excel in connecting businesses with skilled professionals through their vast network and industry expertise, enabling organisations to cultivate individuals and teams prepared for the ever-evolving digital age. 📲 Experis contacted us as they were looking for a business with proven results and experience in the art of unpicking and reconstructing a company’s complex strands: knowing the ins and outs from the inside out. 🧠 As with all of our clients... we always sign an NDA **boos from the crowd**. Privacy is paramount in our working relationships, and while the thought of a red TOP SECRET stamp on our meeting notes does sound cool, all we can say is that the workshop itself was way cooler. 😎 The day brought together a senior team from across the UK and Europe, and we spent the entire workshop understanding their business whilst simultaneously showing them the value in ours. 🤝 I’ll always love returning to London and getting to spend time in Canary Wharf (I feel like a big kid in a business building candy shop), but this visit has got to be up there with the most exciting... The calibre of this client. The budding new business-to-business relationships. The future of Readysalted being shaped before my very eyes. I hate to be one of those ‘watch this space’ kind of guys... but sometimes it’s absolutely necessary. 😏 #BusinessGrowth #StrategicPartnership #LondonBusiness #TechSolutions #DigitalTransformation #StaffingSolutions #EnterpriseSolutions #Readysalted #Networking #CanaryWharf
