1. What did you do before you started your business?
I have been working in recruitment for the last 15 years for global industry leaders and small independent agencies across the South East of England and Scotland.
2. What drew you towards your field of business?
It is something I am very passionate about and I get a real buzz from helping candidates find a new job and clients the right member of staff for their team.
3. What hurdles and challenges have you faced in getting to the stage you are currently at?
It is still very early stages for Endeavour and I’m sure I still have some as yet invisible hurdles to come, but so far so good. I think a calm head and hard work can solve most issues.
4. How has Elevator and Business Gateway helped you and your business on its journey?
Andrew has been great so far and has provided invaluable information and tips in regard to my website, marketing and business development.
5. Since starting your business, if you could have done one thing differently, what would that be?
Ask me again in a couple of months!
6. What aspect of your business have you taken the most pride in since you started?
An absolute focus on the clients and candidate’s needs is essential. This allows me to offer a bespoke recruitment service to both parties.
7. Do you have any entertaining stories or experiences since starting your business, unexpected events, or interesting developments?
Again, probably one that will be easier to answer in another couple of months!
8. Has the business recently secured significant orders, expanded its premises, taken on new staff, received funding, produced something unique, increased exports, etc.?
Yes, I am starting to work with a well-known and renowned hotel in Fife, which I am very excited about and hope it is the first of many new clients.
9. What do you love about running your business? Or the sector you work in?
I love the relationship building and development that happens when you deal with clients and candidates. If you build a good rapport, this ensures they come back to you again in order to use the services you provide.
10. What plans do you have for the future of your business?
I would like to become Perth’s go-to agency for quality candidates and clients and in time develop and grow my team.
