Mat Gibson, Managing Director of industry leading Recruitment Company Chase Taylor tells us that businesses can approach this New Year with genuine confidence.

“In all businesses there are barometers which tell us exactly what the state our chosen industry really is.  Whilst we can watch the news and listen to wider industry commentators telling us that the economy is out of recession and heading in a positive direction, it is what is going on closer to home which really gives us the true picture”.

“As a recruitment company we would expect to get a clearer picture than most; if people are employing again then there is no truer confirmation that confidence has returned and that business is on the up.  While many companies in our industry have continued to trade well throughout the recession, driven by personal determination and in the hope that things would improve, there is now a real belief and a genuine confidence that things have improved, and we can all start to build once again”.

Being involved in only one industry, we know the trends we are seeing are real; they are not being skewed by data from other unrelated sectors

“Being involved in only one industry, we know that the trends we are seeing are real; they are not being skewed by data from other unrelated sectors.  The fact is, the wider window, door, and glazing industry is becoming buoyant once again and we can see this first hand.  We should all take confidence from this and look forward to a year when we can use our positive business skills, our innovations, and our knowledge to grow as the market begins to grow again and to enjoy the benefits of the resurgent economy”.

“For us as a dedicated industry recruiter this is also the time to expand the range of products and services we offer.  In 2013 we launched the ‘One Page Me’ initiative to encourage people who have been in the industry for many years but who don’t have a current CV to get back into the jobs market and realise their potential.  This will have a greater role to play this year as more people do start to think about their careers and what new opportunities may open up”.

Exciting new initiatives to give our clients access to the best pool of clients anywhere in the sector

“ In the near future we will announce further exciting new initiatives which will once again give our current clients, and those who want to work with us in the future the opportunity to access the best pool of potential candidates anywhere in the sector.  Our reputation is built on our outstanding knowledge of the industry; the business roles within in it and what they each entail; and having a candidate pool second to none”.

“We are looking forward to 2014 with every bit as much enthusiasm as any other supplier in the industry and to growing as the market grows.  We will be offering all our products and services to the industry at the FIT Show in June where we look forward to engaging with our all peers in the industry”.

Wishing everybody in the industry a great and very successful New Year,

Mat Gibson
