    Donate Here - https://www.trybooking.com/uk/EYYC  In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of The Freshies – our not-for-profit awards that shines a spotlight on incredible local businesses, individuals, and communities, while raising vital funds for local charities. Vicky, Operations Manager at Fresh Perspective Resourcing, is joined by Rach, Marketing Executive, who plays a key role in bringing Freshies to life behind the scenes. Together, they lift the lid on what really goes into creating an event of this scale – from the early planning stages (which start more than 12 months in advance) right through to the final countdown in the weeks before the big night. They talk through how Freshies was born, why it exists, and what makes it so different from traditional awards events – from its relaxed, people-first nomination process to its focus on celebrating real stories and real success, all while working towards this year’s £30,000 fundraising goal. You’ll also hear about:  The reality of balancing Freshies planning alongside full-time roles  The biggest challenges (and most rewarding moments) behind the scenes  What the final few weeks really look like inside the Fresh team  Favourite memories, standout moments, and stories that have stayed with them long after the event  The importance of community, recognition, and celebrating success in a meaningful way Plus, Vicky and Rach take a moment to recognise the brilliant sponsors who make Freshies possible each year, and reflect on what they’re most excited about for the future of the event. Whether you’ve attended Freshies before, supported it from afar, or are hearing about it for the first time, this episode gives you a real insight into the passion, pressure, and purpose that sits behind one of our favourite nights of the year

    #259 - The Secret to Building a Workplace People Don’t Want to Leave

    Most companies think creating a great place to work comes down to perks, incentives and the occasional team day… but what if it’s actually much simpler than that?  In this episode, Vicky sit's down with Mick Dugdale, Managing Director at Trident Utilities, to talk all things culture, people and what it really takes to build a workplace where employees genuinely thrive. From authentic leadership and honest conversations to feedback, trust and development, Vicky & Mick shares their approaches that have helped shape Trident & Fresh Perspective into great places to work 💚 They dive into why culture is about so much more than perks and big initiatives, the importance of ongoing feedback and recognition, and how trust and autonomy can completely transform performance. They also discuss supporting mental wellbeing in a meaningful way, why transparency from leadership matters more than ever, and how creating an environment where people feel valued can have a huge impact on loyalty, motivation and growth. Mick also opens up about his own journey, from marathon running to leading a culture-first business, and how continuous development has shaped both his career and leadership style. If you’re passionate about people, leadership and building a business where culture actually means something… this one’s for you!

    #258 - A Decade of Doing Recruitment Differently: 10 Years of Fresh Perspective

    This one is a little different. This one is for us. Fresh Perspective Resourcing is officially 10 years old and we're celebrating the only way we know how: by turning the mic on ourselves. In this special birthday episode, Vicky sits down with Laura to reflect on a decade of doing recruitment differently. From the very first day to the high street office in Chorley, from the doubters to the award wins, this is the unfiltered story of what it really takes to build a business with integrity and still absolutely smash it. They're covering it all: where it began, the mission that's driven every decision, the moments they're most proud of, the lessons learned the hard way, and what's coming next for Fresh Perspective. Plus the numbers... candidates placed, trees planted, charity money raised, and the Google reviews that mean everything. And because no episode would be complete without a little fun, Vicky and Laura close out with a game of Fresh or Stale... where we find out exactly how Spicy Margaritas saved Vicky's life, and tackle the question that truly matters: should you clap for your Uber driver when they reach your destination? Ten years. One conversation. Zero filter. Happy birthday to us. Follow Us & Stay Fresh: LinkedIn | Instagram YouTube | TikTok | Website

    #257 - Sex, Boundaries & Business: What Your Relationships Are Really Telling You

    Sex, boundaries, and business - three words you don't often see together. But what if they're more connected than you think? At Fresh Perspective Resourcing, we've always been about doing things differently - including the conversations we're willing to have both inside and outside of the office. And this week, we're going there. In this episode we're exploring what your relationships are really telling you, at work, at home, and everywhere in between. From avoiding difficult conversations to feeling misunderstood, struggling with boundaries, or bringing stress home, these are patterns most of us recognise but few of us talk about openly. Laura, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fresh Perspective Resourcing, is joined by Gemma Nice - a multi award-winning Sex and Relationship Coach who helps people build better communication, stronger trust, and deeper connection in every area of their lives. Together they unpack why communication sits at the root of so many of our challenges, what boundaries actually mean in practice, and why intimacy goes far deeper than most people realise. Whether it's a difficult conversation you've been putting off, a relationship that feels stuck, or simply wanting to show up better at work or at home, this episode will give you a new way of looking at it.

    #255 - How Creating a Supportive Culture Can Help Close the Gender Gap in Business'

    Authenticity might just be your biggest career advantage but it’s often overlooked. In this episode, Laura Leyland, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fresh Perspective Resourcing chats with Michelle Harness, Managing Director at JMG Insurance Brokers, who shares how she progressed from a part-time role to regional leadership without ever chasing job titles or promotions. Instead, her journey was built on consistency, supporting those around her, and bringing the right energy to everything she did. We explore what truly sets great leaders apart from resilience and mindset to the power of personality and genuine connection. Michelle also talks about the importance of mentorship, backing yourself, and having the confidence to speak up about your ambitions, even when it feels uncomfortable. The conversation also shines a light on the gender gap in leadership, particularly within traditionally male-dominated industries. Michelle shares honest reflections on the subtle barriers women still face, from confidence challenges to workplace cultures that don’t always recognise potential and, more importantly, what can be done to change that. Whether you’re looking to take the next step in your career, lead more authentically, or build a more inclusive and supportive team, this episode offers practical insights and real-life perspective to help you get there. Because success isn’t about fitting a mould, it’s about owning who you are and using it to your advantage. Follow Us & Stay Fresh: LinkedIn | Instagram YouTube | TikTok | Website
