2:10pm The perfect tonic for 2025
Jo Sellick, Founder & MD, MJS Partnership
Post-COVID recovery, economic uncertainty, and political turbulence have made leading a recruitment team an incredibly tough gig, testing resilience and patience at every turn. Adopting a pre-sale mindset as we move into 2025 could be the key to reigniting purpose and momentum for yourself and your teams.
Preparing a business for sale sharpens focus, boosts energy, and demands operational excellence. It’s not just about the event itself – it is about realigning priorities, driving growth, and reconnecting with the journey. Jo will walk us through tangible points to help reconnect with growth and share invaluable advice on his lived experience of the process. He’ll explain where to start and how to shift gear for yourself and your team by helping you:-
- Ensure the leadership team is aligned and fully behind the process. Clarity and unity at the top create the focus and drive needed to carry the business forward.
- Assess what’s working and what’s not. Be honest about what’s holding you back.
- Identify quick wins to build momentum and restore confidence to drive sales.
2:30pm Driving growth with effective credit control
Barry Cullen, Partner & Solicitor, RecLAW
Barry will highlight how the right approach to credit control can make a big difference for recruitment business owners and leaders planning for growth, acquisitions or even a sale. When payments come in on time and overdue invoices are kept to a minimum, cash flow stays strong, giving you the financial stability to invest in new opportunities, hire top talent, and expand your services. With less time spent chasing payments, you can focus on driving the business forward and achieving your growth ambitions. Effective credit control ensures you have a solid foundation to build on, bringing clarity and confidence to your plans. With insights from within a recruitment specialist legal firm that specializes in “back door hires”, Barry will give an insightful talk on how to keep your cash flowing.
Who should attend
Recruitment business owners and leadership teams looking for practical insights and strategies to ensure 2025 begins with clarity and confidence.
