Every week this year I have read another headline about a UK factory winding down.

So it was good to read something different.

A new factory in Dumfries has just started hiring. VASO Global is opening a 60,000 square feet plant to make a world first recycled building panel, and the first people through the door are local.

Fifteen roles created so far. Up to seventy planned over the next five years. Green economy skills, real careers, right on people's doorstep.

What struck me most was who is leading it. Jim Patterson started out as an apprentice at ICI back in 1991. Thirty five years later he is standing outside a brand new plant, training a fresh team from scratch.

That is the part we do not talk about enough.

Manufacturing talent does not disappear when a site closes. It moves. Skills built over decades find a new home, and often they teach the next generation on the way.

The closures are real and they hurt. I never want to gloss over that. Behind every one is a person and a family working out what comes next.

Skilled people are becoming available at the very moment ambitious employers are building something new. The business that reaches out first, with real care rather than a job spec, tends to be the one that wins the talent.

That is the whole job for us at Pioneer Selection. Matching brilliant manufacturing and engineering people with the employers who will value them.

If you are hiring, or if you are one of the skilled people the headlines forgot, talk to my team at Pioneer Selection. We would love to help.

And if you know someone this could reach, please share it.

🔥 Back and straight in the mixer!

📞 A full day of meetings with telephone system providers today.

The focus is clear: finding the right strategic partner to modernise our communications, strengthen connectivity across the business and ensure our infrastructure supports our wider AI transformation.

Every platform must integrate effectively, improve the user experience and deliver measurable business value.

Although with all this technology around me, I’m still old skool with my trusted whiteboard keeping everything organised! 😂🖊️

A productive day exploring what the future of communication could look like for our people, candidates and clients. 🚀

Every business tells me they want the best people. Then they build a process that guarantees they miss them.

A slow hiring process does not lose you every candidate. It loses you the best ones first.

The best people are never on the market long. They are in demand, they have options, and they will not sit through five rounds and three weeks of silence.

While you are arranging the next interview, someone faster has already made the offer.

Speed is not about lowering the bar. It is about respecting the fact that good people do not wait.

Tighten the stages. Give feedback fast. Decide like you actually want them.

In this market the clearest sign of a serious employer is not the salary. It is how fast they move when they meet someone good. ⚡

How long does your business take to go from first interview to offer?

🌴 You may have noticed I have been a bit quiet lately. There is a good reason for that.

I have just returned from and I feel like a different person.

I unplugged from the matrix completely and let my brain go quiet.

I love going to Dubai. Something about that place resets me every time. ☀️ I spent real time with the family, made proper memories and was fully present. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 No screen in my hand (occasionally lol), no half listening while I checked emails. JUST US.

Here is what nobody tells you. You cannot lead from empty. You cannot make sharp calls/decision when you are running on fumes. The always on badge of honour is a fast track to average work.

So I switched off. Properly. ✈️ and encourage everyone in and generally to do it as and when needed.

When you unplug, reset and recharge, something happens. The noise drops away and the focus comes back sharper than ever. ⚡

I came back with a clear head, real energy and a plan I actually believe in.

Now Q4 is here and I am ready. Locked in. Focused. Hungry. 🔥

I also have a few interesting projects on the roadmap.

The final quarter is where the ambitious pull away from the comfortable. It is where you set the tone for everything that comes next.

Rested and ready beats busy and burnt out every single time.

When did you last truly switch off? And did you come back sharper for it? 👇

Today is personal for me. 💙 My daughter got into university, and I am one very proud dad. 🎓👨‍👧

Before I say anything else, a question, because a school leaver is going to read this thread one day.

🎙️Recruiters and leaders, what is the one thing you would want them to know as they start out? Drop it below. 👇

Now here is why it matters to me.

I know the effort, the late nights and the nerves that went into this. That is the part no grade ever captures. 🙌

To every student who got their results today, congratulations. 🎉

Here is the truth I wish someone had told me at eighteen.

Your results are a moment. They are not your ceiling. 🚀

I have hired hundreds of people in Recruitment. The ones who thrived were rarely the ones with the flawless transcript. They were the ones who stayed curious, stayed coachable and stayed human. ❤️

University. Apprenticeships. Technical routes. Straight into industry. There is no single right path. There is only your next step. 🧭

So whether today went to plan or not, the pen is in your hand. Either way, go and create your own journey. 🌟

To my daughter, I could not be prouder. 🥹 To everyone else, be proud today. Then keep climbing. ⛰️

The best boardrooms are not full of people who simply agree.

Twenty years of running a business teaches you something no governance course can. You learn what it feels like to make a call when the money is real and the outcome is yours to own.

That is the perspective too many boards are missing.

Plenty of advisors can tell you what the textbook says. Far fewer can tell you what happens when the plan meets a bad quarter, a key person walks, or a market turns overnight.

Boards do not need another voice that nods along. They need one that has actually run the thing.

That is what operators bring. Not theory. Scar tissue.

If you have run a business through good years and brutal ones, you already have what boards say they want. Most operators just do not know how to say it out loud. 💼

Some days your office looks a little different 🏢

Today mine was Bullhorn HQ.

Back on the train this morning 🚆 Hats off to anyone who does this every day.

I spent the morning with Lia Taniguchi, MBA diving deep into everything Data and Talent Insights 📊 and I came away genuinely energised about where this is heading.

The conversation kept circling back to the same truth. The agencies who win the next few years will be the ones who turn their data into decisions rather than letting it sit in a system gathering dust.

Grateful for the time this morning Lia 🙏 Plenty to take back to the team.

Office for the day and an obligatory lift selfie in the pics 👇

Wax on. Wax off. ✋ PIC 1 Mr Miyagi captured a whole room with nothing but his hands and a rhythm nobody could look away from.

No slides. No script. Just movement, repetition, and total conviction.
That is exactly how I felt standing in front of my team last week. 😮

I presented LLM/GPTs inside our CRM.

I have become one of their loudest advocates. Because I have seen what they do to a recruitment desk.

Here is why they matter. 👇
They match candidates to live roles in seconds.
They draft the write ups, the specs and the outreach.
They clear the admin that used to eat half a desk day.
And they answer questions about our own data in plain English.

This is not a nice to have. It is the difference between a desk that scales and a desk that stalls.

The room felt it too. One question asked out loud, the CRM answered, and everyone went quiet. 🔇
None of this replaces a single person on my team.
It hands them their time back. Time to actually recruit. Time to be human where it counts. 🤝

Wax on. Wax off. The reps become instinct, and the instinct becomes an edge. ✋
AI will not replace recruiters. Recruiters using AI will replace the ones who refuse to.

Today my team saw exactly which side of that line we are on.

This is only the start. 🚀

Thank You to -Jane Marchand for the pictures and Halil for being my case study..

Nearly 300 people are leaving Jaguar Land Rover.

The news landed this week. Most of the roles are salaried and management, part of a restructure following last year's cyber attack and the shift to electric.

JLR is still the country's biggest car maker, with around 30,000 people in the UK. But even the giants are having to reshape.

This is the reality of manufacturing right now. Proud, established employers making hard calls in a market that will not sit still.

Behind the number are real people. Engineers, planners, quality leads who gave their best to a brand that means something.

I always come back to the same thought when news like this breaks. Skilled people do not disappear. They regroup, and before long they are building something somewhere new.

That feels worth holding onto on a week that otherwise lands heavy.
