MEMBER NEWS Encore invests in staff development
A recent national report detailed that workers across the UK have a lack of access to skills development and training – however, leading recruitment agency Encore Personnel is going above and beyond to ensure its staff have the necessary training to thrive in their careers. The report by the CIPD,
(Chartered Institute of Training & Development) - the professional body for HR and people development- highlighted that
while overall satisfaction with work and jobs is reasonable, one in four workers (27%) say that their job does not offer good opportunities to develop their skills. Headquartered in Leicester city
centre and with further offices in Nottingham and Derby, Encore wants to change these statistics by
providing great career opportunities for its staff – something that saw the business invest £1m in staff training and growth opportunities last year. Encore is already reaping the
benefits that come from developing its staff. Following this investment, the team went on to experience a
record year with a turnover of £64.5m and is continuing to drive training initiatives throughout this year.
Cindy Gunn, HR Manager at
Encore Personnel, said: “We are not just dedicated to helping our candidates find great places to work, but also to providing a place in which our staff can thrive. We will continue to invest in our people, training opportunities, reward initiatives and employee engagement schemes.”

David Sharp is a celebrated sculptor,

He works from a wonderfully picturesque studio in Derbyshire, producing individual pieces for JK Rowling, Uri Geller and the Duke of Rutland, amongst many others.
David knows that life as a highly creative and innovative artist is full of potential legal pitfalls, including other operators trying to steal his ideas or even damage his business.
“I’m swimming with the sharks,” he says. “I have a creative mind, which may miss the fine legal details of the business. There can be all sorts of issues, like copyright, contract small print, chasing bad payers or even dealing with aggressive competitors.
“That is where I’ve come to rely on Mitchell Wilde to make sure all the legal aspects are covered.
“They are very down to earth, even when my head is in the clouds. Their expertise and skill in the legal world leaves me free to concentrate on my own creativity. “They are very thorough, easy to work with and they can be very strategic in longer term planning.”
Paul Mitchell, partner in Mitchell Wilde said: “We offer specialised legal services to an exceptionally wide range of small to medium sized businesses across the region and we pride ourselves on getting to know each one individually, so we can provide a tailored and personal service.”
David says: “I know Mitchell Wilde will cover all my legal needs. No-one is going to carve me up.”
