Getting the right people with a passion for what they do can be tricky. You can have the best CV in the world but that’s just paper; the proof of the pudding is in the tasting, as it were. We get a lot of people emailing CVs to us who are just coming out of university. The thing we’ve found though is that they’ve become somewhat institutionalised whilst at uni; they’ve spent many years doing it their way and it can be too much of a culture shock. Some of the kids that are graduating these days aren’t ready for work. You get them in and it’s not spoon feeding sometimes, it’s drip feeding, and a lot of the time it’s not their fault. That’s something that’s got to be rectified because otherwise I’m going to become a glorified training agency for the companies down south. We get people in, have a painful first six months, twelve months after that I can finally let them loose, but within a year they’re going down south to the big boys down there. They’ve fulfilled their training with me and they’re going onto pastures new. But that’s something that’s happening across the country and not just unique to us.
