Jeri T - Helpdesk Coordinator

At 300 North our team members who are able to give blood do so on a regular basis. Today on World Blood Donor Day, we take the opportunity to thank them for their life saving donations and help to raise awareness around the importance of giving blood.

Giving blood saves lives and is vital to help people who need it in an emergency or for on-going medical treatment.

National Sewing Machine day!

At 300 North we are keen for our staff to develop their interests and share all sides of their personality with the team. Today’s spotlight is on Jenny, our Business Manager, the seamstress of the team who as part of National Sewing Machine Day has let us have a sneek peak into her sewing room – over to you Jenny!

“Hi all! I just wanted to take this time on National Sewing Machine Day to say a few words about why I think think sewing is a great hobby. Sewing is suitable for everyone and there are a lot of engaging beginner projects using both a sewing machine and just a simple needle and thread.

Physical and mental implications of going into the office

With government restrictions easing, slowly the UK is making its way back into their workspace. While customer facing businesses such as retail will need stringent Covid-19 protection plans, how will the humble office space fair in this new landscape?

Many FM businesses, especially back office support functions such as helpdesk, are moving back to their buildings and focus needs to be on both safety and staff wellbeing.

While many are waiting to ride out this transition period to see what the ‘new normal’ will look like, it’s important to learn from this time of lockdown and bring positive lessons into the workspace on a permanent basis. This is an opportunity to improve, future proof businesses as well as improve staff wellbeing.

300 North Statement on Covid-19

As the world continues to navigate the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, we want to provide reassurance to our clients, candidates and our wider network in the FM & Construction sectors, that 300 North remain fully committed to supporting you.

Earlier in the year we were delighted to become an official supporter of Smart Works Leeds, a charity that supports getting unemployed women into work. Since then we’ve been busy raising money for Smart Works by cycling many miles in the run up to International Women’s Day, and attending the powerful ‘Reigniting the Fire’ Smart Talks event.

At 300 North, we like to feel on fire about the issues and causes we're passionate about.
