For those of you that know me, or just follow my blog posts or follow me on twitter or LinkedIn will know that I am a very a passionate person. I have a positive mental attitude and believe anything is possible if you have enough desire and determination. I came across this video which I thought encapsulates the passion that you need to be truly successful. It features many people who you will be familiar with, some are business entrepreneurs, others just very motivated people. See what you think.
I love my job and I am passionate about helping employers find the very best people that they can for their business, to ensure their business has stability and can grow and reach its objectives. I am passionate about helping job seekers find a new job, a job that will fulfil their career ambitions, and make a difference to their life. I am passionate about developing the careers of my team and creating more Project Resource success stories, as we continue to grow and expand in the UK and overseas. I am passionate about working with valued suppliers that can improve the Project Resource business and helping them grow alongside us.
Passion, it really is a secret ingredient to success, and most importantly continue success. I hope you enjoyed the post and video, and I wish you every success in all that you do.

I recently came across a Tweet on my Twitter account @TheBillWynn by Davis Langdon, which referred to a report produced by Peter Fordham, an Associate at Davis Langdon titled, “Market Forecast: Spring Hasn’t Sprung“.
A lot of Peter’s observations and thoughts I agree with, however, it seems a little on the pessimistic/ cautious side for my liking, positive mental attitude outlook and what many of the companies that we are working with are showing, through their recruitment activity.
My experience from the lows of 2009-10, is that 2012 is going to be a much better year for UK Construction and UK Infrastructure than the 3 years prior. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may or may not know, Project Resource takes the relationships that we have with our suppliers very seriously. We see our suppliers in the same light as the employers and job seekers that we help: as partners.
We strive to be the very best business we can be, so we expect our suppliers to have the same attitude to their business and customer service. With this in mind we have recently added Sprite to our preferred accountancy services companies that we recommend all contractors that work on assignments via us, to speak with and work through.
Personally I have spoken to 50+ companies in the last 24 months, so I am well placed to know which companies contractors should and should not use. We are very selective in which companies we choose to endorse and recommend to the contractors that we help find work.
Sprite can assist contractors who choose to work through either an umbrella company (Sprite Consultancy Limited) or through a CIS solution (Sprite Construction Limited) which applies as an option to those working in the construction industry. Either way they will look after your accounts and ensure that you are paid the maximum you can achieve, whilst ensuring you pay your taxes and contributions in line with UK laws.
From my meetings with the many contractor service companies, we have three carefully selected contractor service companies that we endorse and work with.
Why did we select these companies to work with? We choose these companies over the many others that exist due to their high level of customer service, their professionalism and their understanding of our business. There was also synergy between our businesses as to what we were all trying to achieve and our dedication to high standards.
Sprite is focused on delivering great service and results for it’s customers, they take pride in their work and reputation. Sprite are proud members of APSCo and accredited by Professional Passport which demonstrates a high standard of service and compliance within the Professional Staffing Industry. Jay Pittaway is our contact, and if you have a query, or need advice on working through an Umbrella company or CIS solution, give Jay a call or email him. Make sure you mention that you found out about Sprite through Project Resource.
If you are currently seeking a contract job, then make sure you register on our website to received job alerts that match your job search requirements. I hope you found this information of interest. I am happy to assist you further if you need any advice.

PCG’s latest poll suggests that the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) have had little or no effect on most contractors. The regulations, which came into force in October 2011 are designed to give those who work via a recuitment agency additional rights after they had been engaged by the same client for more than 12 weeks. Although contractors working through their own limited company will generally be outside the scope of the regulations (if they are “in business on their own account”), the AWR still has the potential to cause a few headaches for contractors, agencies and employers as everyone gets used to the new rules.
Thankfully, it appears that the contractor and recruitment agency community is well informed. This week’s poll on PCG’s website shows that 77% of respondents stated that the AWR had not affected them at all. This is encouraging as it suggests that agencies and freelancers have kept abreast of the new rules and are largely aware that the regulations will tend not to apply to them (if they are in business on their own account).
Of those who did say that the AWR had affected them, 16.3% were affected “a little”, and 6.7% had been affected “a lot” by the AWR. This means there is still work to be done to inform recruitment agencies and employers about the scope of the new rules.
If you are an employer and you did not previously attend our AWR seminars last year, you may want to contact us to obtain a copy of “The APSCo Guide to Agency Worker Regulations (2011-2012)’. This is a very informative and step by step guide which will help you fully understand and comply with the new rules.
Alternatively, feel free to call us and one of our team will be able to help you.
If you are a contractor looking for a reliable and professional recruitment business to represent you, you can review our current job vacancies here, speak to our teams here or register with us here.
If you are a contractor what impact has AWR had on you?

The ethos at Project Resource is very much one of professionalism, dedication and success, and all the team have a work hard, play hard attitude. We as Directors of the business work very hard to ensure that we have a fun and rewarding work environment and company culture.
One of the many things that we do to reward to our high achievers is to take them to the best restaurants in the UK a few times per year. So I am delighted to say that last Friday we had the pleasure of taking several of the team to Rhodes 24, located at Tower 42, in central London.
