ITV NEWS INTERVIEW REQUEST - NEXT TUESDAY 

Hi Mariah. I'd be happy to give comments and can speak on Thursday. I own a recruitment agency in London and Manchester. We've grown our team from three to thirteen in a year, and we're struggling to recruit experienced consultants. I can also add value from my clients' perspectives, who are also struggling to recruit.

My email is lily@lilyshippen.co.uk.

Lily Shippen

We are the specialist agency and network for connecting exceptional businesses and exceptional people within both Human Resources and Executive and Business Support fields. Whether you are looking for talent to employ or searching for a career, we provide exceptional support solutions to connect companies and candidates effectively. We are specialists, dedicated to the roles and expertise we cover. It’s what we do and how we do it. My role within the team involves marketing and strategy, as well as managing the business support division.

I have various clients at the moment particularly retail and admin that are struggling to recruit.  Either we don't get many applications or the ones we do get don't have the right behaviours for the role.  We try to encourage our clients to look at behaviours as well as skill as it is easy to teach skill but you can't teach behaviours.

She helps business owners build simple, effective HR processes that support great culture, good communication and confident leadership. She’s also a self-confessed HR tech geek and is known for her love of apps, gadgets and anything that saves time and stress.

I am happy to speak to you to discuss in general how our clients will be impacted, I haven't got a client who would be willing to talk as a case study.

Would that be ok?

I forgot to add, my email is ashley@magnifinance.co.uk

A number of businesses that have never employed overseas workers are now looking to this as a way to bridge a skills and labour shortage.  
By the Government's own data there has been a 332% increase in visa applications and a 31% increase in sponsors (General category) YTD 2021 to March 2022.  From what we are seeing that trend is set to continue.

As a Chartered Wealth Manager I have enjoyed a varied career working with some of the largest brands in the UK financial advice industry.
Not your typical financial services type!
A specialist working with the legal sector.
The non-lawyer co-owner of a boutique national law firm.
A career coach and mentor I have had the privilege of working with a number of very successful employed and self-employed individuals. My skillset is in identifying skills in others and helping them to use these for success.
I'm a family man and this motivates everything I do and love working with like minded individuals. Work should never come at the cost of family, life is too short! 
I am a passionate believer in flexible working and the benefits that can bring, especially in enabling working parents balance successful careers and family life. 

Over the years I have worked with those up to and including board level. I have seen what works and doesn't work for businesses ranging in size from one person self-employed practices to large national organisations. I have coached and developed brand new trainees up to experienced MD's. 
I am known in financial services as a problem solver and self confessed geek.  I have expertise in most financial planning areas but particularly complex pensions and Trust arrangements.  I was a member of the CISI technical panel for their PCIAM exam for a number of years.

Outside the day job I regularly present to state schools about careers and am an Academy Chair for one of the largest secondary schools in the country. 

Companies I have worked for or with:
