Turbulent Times - FM's Best Upskilling Opportunity? Facilities Show Panel Write Up - 300 North
300 North was invited to the Facilities Show to discuss how recruiters could tackle skill gaps and shortages across the Facilities Management sector, how that would impact the industry going forward and what can be done to solve it. The panel, titled “Turbulent Times: FM’s Best Upskilling Opportunity?”, was chaired by Mark Whittaker (Chair, IWFM and General Manager, Thomson FM), and had Conrad Dinsmore (Head of Projects, CBRE), Sofie Hooper (Head of Policy, IWFM), Andrew Hulbert (Managing Director, Pareto FM) and Theresa Lamarque (Director of Strategic Partnerships, 300 North), as speakers.
This Learning at Work Week we spoke to our 3 Kickstart trainees about how they have found working alongside external study. Josh and Kieran are our most recent recruits from the Kickstart programme and each have a couple of months left to complete their courses. Joe on the other hand recently finished his 6 months of Kickstart learning with us and decided to stay on with 300 North and take on further learning to attain a Foundation Certificate in Accounting.
300 North, experts in Facilities Management recruitment, is proud to be partnered with Uptree, a careers education and work experience platform championing diversity, inclusion and equality for all. The partnership emphasises an alignment of values between the two companies, and a wish to advance equitable, diverse and inclusive hiring practices.

"My experience with 300 North was very positive. Jenny took time to explain the role in great detail as well as providing considerable support to prepare me for my interview. The team were very friendly, professional and informative. Communication was very frequent as they regularly kept me up to date. I would highly recommend 300 North."
Anthony
"From the very start to the end I was kept informed and up to date by Jenny who was dealing with my application. I couldn't have been happier with the way the Jenny handled my application and can only recommend to everyone else!"
Karl
"I honestly would recommend 300 North for all your Facilities Management requirements; we needed to recruit in remote places and had tried several others over 5 months, however they filled our role within 2 weeks! They go that extra mile to achieve, staff quality is truly excellent, communication has been second to none."

"Thanks to Faye and the rest of the team, I secured a great job. I cannot fault them, superb approach and faultless attention at every step of the way. I'd recommend them both to prospective employers and job seekers alike!"
Troy
"Samantha and Faye were both fantastic throughout the full process and after, keeping in touch with updates prior to starting my role and answering any questions. The team successfully helped me to secure a new position and career path. I would highly recommend using 300 North to help secure your next job."
Paul
"Having been approached for a role that was not for me, there followed an exploratory discussion with Faye. It was clear that Faye was not just farming but genuinely interested in me. Together we moved the goal posts and Faye was in frequent contact with myself and her client even whilst on holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend 300 North."
David
"Theresa, Colette and Jenny were first class; they listened, kept in touch and talked to me regularly about appropriate roles. I felt important which is a great feeling when you're out of work. If I were a client I would be using 300 North, as they have the empathy to positively engage with candidates and present the very best to employers."
