“MoD and industry can be at the forefront of an export-led growth strategy”

Jenrick IT, the niche IT recruitment agency which operates in the Defence and Security Sector, is currently exhibiting at the DSEi Show (ExCeL) in London, showcasing a range of SC and DV Career Advice and Jobs resources.

The experienced team of consultants manning the stand, are offering up to date career advice to help SC and DV Cleared Professionals to maximise their career opportunities within this specialised industry. (more…)

Jenrick IT is privileged to be one of a select group of recruitment companies exhibiting at the DESi 2011 show, which opens today at ExCeL, London and is dubbed as “The World’s largest Arms and Defence Show.”

SC and DV Cleared Professionals are encouraged to visit the award-winning Recruitment Company at Stand N4-187 to receive up to date Security and Defence Career Advice, which reflects the current skill and experience requirements within the Security and Defence Sectors.

The career advice team at the show, led by Jenrick IT’s Managing Director, Philip Fanthom and Security Careers and Recruitment Specialist, Miriam Lee, added further comments on their role at the show:

“There is an incredible amount of opportunity available for SC and DV Cleared Professionals, especially those with an IT background, which is the area of careers that is our primary focus. However, due to the nature of this industry, people will be largely unaware of many of these job opportunities, which is a key reason we have made ourselves available at DSEi,” Fanthom explained.

Miriam Lee added, “the speed at which the market is evolving is incredible. {{Job hunting techniques of two years ago are now largely obsolete.}} This is one reason why I recorded the career advancement podcast; to highlight the current career strategies that individuals should implement.”

The Career Advancement Podcast for SC and DV Professionals, is just one of several exclusive career and job-hunting resources that are available to visitors of the DSEi Show.

In addition to gaining access to these resources, SC and DV Professionals will also be able to receive a one-on-one career clinic with a member of Jenrick IT’s experienced career advancement team.

If you wish to pre-book an appointment with one of the Jenrick IT team, please email dsei@jenrick.co.uk, or call the office on (01932) 245 500.

The Jenrick Group recently held a Charity ‘Car Wash Day’ to help raise money for Maple Ridge Primary School based in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

Maple Ridge Primary School have counted the last donation box from the car wash which came to a grand total of £134.67! Thank you all who contributed.

This money will go towards equipment for the new sensory area (enclosed safe garden) for the children.

Maple Ridge is a school that works with Children with special communication needs, specifically Autism. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people and the world around them. It is a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain areas of difficulty, their condition will affect them in different ways.

Thank you to everyone at Jenrick who took part in the car wash day, you have helped to make a huge difference!

Think of any film you’ve seen that grabbed you.  What about a TV series you follow, or a book you read and re-read or share?  They’ll all have grabbed your attention and kept it with a story.

The story that’s threaded and woven throughout any attention-grabbing book or film is what we remember, long after the titles and credits.  Stories have the power to move us and make us act.

We all tell stories – to ourselves, to our friends and families and to our clients, customers and colleagues.  That phrase “so what’s the story on that?” – we want to know the story.

The facts are just that, basically a list of details or information.  The story is what makes the difference, how the facts are all pulled together and it sways people and if &nda sh; and how – they take on and accept your message.

I saw this very positive report in The Telegraph, from Vince Cable the Business Secretary, regarding the strong position of the UK’s manufacturing industry, and the  positive impact it is making within the UK’s economic recovery, especially in relation to the UK engineering jobs market:

This summer I have seen at first hand some of the signs of British industrial excellence which belie the common narrative of pessimism and decline captured in the phrase “we don’t make things anymore”.

In my job as Business Secretary I get to see the machine makers who export to Japan, the cycle company which exports to China, the car manufacturers who sell engines to Germany, the food companies who out-compete the French, the rebirth of British motorcycle manufacturing, and much more.

Britain is still one of the world’s largest manufacturers and, although much reduced, the shape of manufacturing in the economy is about the same (11pc) as for France and the US. And there is real growth despite the difficulties in our main EU and US markets with 3.6pc manufacturing growth in the last year, more than twice the growth achieved pre-recession in 2006. (more…)
