📣 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 📣 I can still remember the day when Will's dad, Des, came to meet with me at our shoebox office in Whitehall Riverside back in Leeds in 2019. Will was still fully into his professional football career at the time... but… as any good Dad would… Des was looking to help prepare his son for a career beyond professional sport. For any of you that know Will, you know he’s got a heart of gold and is always 100% open and honest, even when it is to his own detriment… So, you can imagine my thoughts when he openly confessed to never having sent an email before… pretty good going given he was in his mid-20s at the time! Having known will for a (very) long time, I knew that, despite his professional qualities being somewhat ‘lacking’... he definitely had some skills that made me confident he had the potential to make recruitment a success. Will went through our standard internal recruitment process and at the final stage delivered his presentation… I’ll leave Ben to share his feedback from that day (offline), but I thought it was pretty good considering he had only been using Microsoft Office for a couple of weeks! Needless to say – we decided we saw potential in Will and offered him the job. Roll the clock forward 5 years and Will sits at Number 3 in our 2024 Leaderboard and number 7 (out of ~100) in JBAndrews All Time Revenue! Incredible achievements in themselves, but all the more impressive given he is still playing semi-pro football for Darlington and in fact, 18 months of the 5 years were spent full-time with AFC Fylde where he would drive a couple of hours each way, do a full day of training, and then do a full day of recruitment! Never-mind the two young boys at home... Far more important than his sales performance, Will has gone from being someone we took a chance on initially, to someone whose qualities we now look for when we interview all new JBA employees. 𝙃𝙚'𝙨 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚: No doubt a knock-on effect of playing professional sports, he is always looking to win. 𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣: Despite his success, Will remains one of the most humble members of our team, and comes into each day eager to learn. 𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡: Plenty of people have tapped him on the shoulder over the years, but he has always repaid our faith in him with loyalty to JBA. 𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜: Like any good box-to-box midfielder, Will is more than happy to roll up his sleeves and put in the hard yards. A special shoutout has to go to Will’s direct manager, Paul Butcher, for helping Will navigate the world of emails and Outlook 365 back in 2019. Paul is the definition of a servant-leader, but that is a post for another day! Congratulations Will… Des, I owe you a beer! Below are some pics of Will and I over the years 📸👇 🎶 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘏𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤, 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘵... 🎶

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🏃♂️   One of the most important things we can do to help protect our mental health is regular movement. Movement is a great way to enhance our wellbeing. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety while increasing confidence, concentration and aiding in better sleep. At JBAndrews, we encourage our staff year-round to prioritise their physical health as we strongly believe this is connected to positive mental health. One way we do this by providing a ‘Workout Wednesday’ benefit which allows the team to finish early every Wednesday to participate in a physical activity of their choosing.   This week we encouraged our staff to move more for their mental health by giving them the chance to start late and finish early to allow even more opportunity for movement!    We saw members of Leeds taking part in golf, yoga, gym sessions and dog walks, with Dubai opting for cycling, padel, running and a sunset walk around the marina. Each office also enjoyed a healthy breakfast on arrival to start their day with a smile. Enjoy the below pictures of our team members participating in their chosen 'movement' this year (some more flattering than others!).   #momentsformovement #mentalhealthawarenessweek #moveforyourmentalhealth
