It is great to see so many of our co-members supporting the #ReedisGreen initiative today, championing Earth Raise 2026! 🌎 This is the UK's biggest environmental campaign, run by our sister charity Big Give. From proudly wearing green to choosing sustainable ways to travel to work, your actions truly make a difference. Your commitment to sustainability doesn’t go unnoticed and continues to inspire us all to think more consciously about the impact we have on our environment. 💚 As a PhilCo, Reed has a longstanding commitment to positive environmental action. Since the campaign began, the Reed Foundation, which owns 18% of Reed, has donated nearly £3 million through Big Give to support vital environmental charities. “Caring for our planet” is also one of Reed’s core sustainability pillars. We have planted thousands of trees, committed to becoming climate positive by 2050, and are actively growing the UK’s green workforce. 🌳 Read more about the campaign: https://bit.ly/4viXeZo
Today at Reed, we're celebrating 'Reed is Green'. This is our commitment to sustainability and our support for Earth Raise 2026 🌍 💚 Our team showed up in green and travelled to work sustainably, whether by walking, cycling, car share, or public transport. Small choices add up, and today is a great reminder of what we can achieve when we act together. We are proud to be part of a workplace that puts environmental responsibility at the heart of what we do: ➡️ Reed is a philanthropic company as around 18% of the business is owned by the Reed Foundation, a registered charity ➡️ We have a long standing environmental commitment, as Reed was the first major UK recruitment company to become carbon neutral in 2005 and most importantly maintaining that ever since ➡️ Social sustainability is the heart of our business where we strive to 'improve lives through work' We are also fortunate to have green space near our city centre office in Leeds! 🌻 🌲 Note: no Talent Delivery Managers were harmed attempting to climb a tree for the photo opportunity #ReedisGreen #EarthRaise2026 #ESG #LifeatReed David Dannatt Zivile Butenkova Danielle L.

What does it take to build a successful business quickly, with no safety net and no guarantees? In this week’s episode of ‘All About Business’, I had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew Hulbert FIWFM, founder of Pareto Facilities Management Ltd. At just 27 years old, Andrew grew a business from his bedroom into a £50m company, starting with zero help, no resources and no safety net. A decade later, he chose to sell in his thirties after years of rapid and sustained growth. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to scale a business: from landing pivotal contracts that accelerate growth to building a leadership team strong enough to step back from. Andrew also speaks candidly about the personal cost of success: the long hours, the burnout and the moment he realised the business he’d built was no longer aligned with the life he wanted. He shares the reality behind what it means to be a successful entrepreneur, and the turning points that led him to step back. If you were in Andrew’s position, would you have made the same call?

The landscape of the UK engineering and manufacturing sector is changing as we see a pragmatic shift in what professionals want. The chase for a higher pay is being replaced by a desire for stability, development, and genuine work-life balance. For many SMEs, the financial firepower to compete on salary alone just isn't there anymore. Instead, we are seeing a creative approach to compensation. "Core hours" enable flexibility, breaking 9-to-5 barriers, with employees prioritising growth over traditional paths, while AI and robotics drive upskilling. Kimberly Hunsdon, Engineering and Manufacturing Expert at Reed, breaks down everything you need to know about the sector in 2026. 🔗Read the full blog: https://bit.ly/459KJUK

Could the future of sustainable materials be hiding in your empty pint glass? On this week’s episode of ‘All About Business’ I’m joined by TJ Edward Mitchell, Co‑founder and Chief Technology Officer of Arda Biomaterials. TJ is a scientist turned entrepreneur who’s quietly rethinking how some of the world’s most familiar products are made. In this episode, we talk about his journey from being a PhD student to building a deep‑tech company, how ideas move from theory to reality and what it really takes to build something that could quietly change an entire supply chain. TJ’s career is a powerful reminder that some of the biggest breakthroughs in science and sustainability often start with what most people usually overlook. If innovation can come from the most unexpected of places… what else might we be missing? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below… #AllAboutBusiness #LoveMondays #LifeAtReed #BusinessPodcast #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Sustainability #TJMitchell #Biomaterials

Wishing you a happy Easter! 🐣 As spring arrives, we’re reminded that growth often begins when we pause, reset and make room for fresh ideas. As we take the long weekend to reflect and recharge, our social media activity will be paused until Tuesday 7 April 2026. We look forward to reconnecting with you then, returning refreshed for the season ahead. Enjoy a well-deserved break, time with loved ones and, hopefully, a little spring sunshine! ☀️
