2024 you've been amazing! Happy New Year from all of us at Linaker 💙💚 #billharrison #clairecurran #andydhillon

At Linaker, the holiday season is more than just a date on the calendar - it’s an opportunity to come together, celebrate our journeys, and share in the festive spirit✨   This year, we’ve embraced the magic of Christmas wholeheartedly, just like families do. From decorating trees to donning Christmas jumpers and gathering as a team, we’ve reflected on the year, celebrated our achievements, and spread joy along the way. It’s this sense of togetherness that makes us Linaker 💙💚 #LinakerLife #LinakerPeople #celebrate #BillHarrison #ClaireCurran #AndyDhillon

Although many are looking to wind down for the year, we're continuing to forge ahead on our path of growth with the hire of Mark Young, who joins our Operations Team as Account Director.   Mark, a highly qualified and experienced leader in the FM sphere across a multitude of sectors, will add even more strings to our bow with his extensive experience to even further optimise our operational capabilities.   Please join us in welcoming him to our Linaker family!   #Linaker #LinakerPeople #LinakerLife #Talent #Growth Bill Harrison Claire Curran Andy Dhillon

It's not even the weekend yet and we're already gearing up for the next big event on our calendar - the IHR - In-house Recruitment Awards, which is taking place on Wednesday 27th November, next week.   Hosted at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, these awards recognise and celebrate the success of UK In-house Recruitment Teams and we're extremely proud that Linaker is a finalist for the Newcomer (Team) Award, sponsored by Hudson RPO.   The Newcomer (Team) Award recognises that "starting an in-house recruitment function from scratch takes an enormous effort" with finalists demonstrating "success in a vastly challenging environment".   We're so proud of the work our Head of People Victoria Morris and her team have accomplished - let's bring it home!   #Linaker #LinakerPeople #LinakerLife #Awards #IHRA24 Bill Harrison Claire Curran Andy Dhillon

A #ThrowbackThursday post to earlier this week when we attended the Atom Business Events' Facilities Management event, who yet again brought together our industry under one roof at Doncaster Racecourse and Exhibition Centre. Kicking off with a networking dinner, where we met a wide range of brilliant people from our sector, we then sat down for a packed schedule of meetings from major supermarkets to retail stores and leading hotel groups, to name a few. Thank you to our MD, Claire Curran and Business Manager Steve Hurndall, MIWFM, for flying the Linaker flag. #Linaker #LinakerPeople #LinakerLife #Networking Bill Harrison Andy Dhillon
