After just 12 episodes we are amazed to see that the Maximise Potential Podcast is mixing it with the best on i-tunes!

The latest charts have been released and Maximise Potential is ranked as the 2nd most popular podast within Careers.

Jenrick is the leading sponsor of the podcast, which only started back in May of this year, becoming involved with the project after agreeing to sponsor an aspiring triathlete, Elliott Cole. (more…)

Congratulations to Jo Eley who has just been awarded the very latest ‘Jenrick Experience’ which means that she has been given £1,000 to make her dream come true! (more…)

A young and talented triathlete – Elliott Cole, approached Jenrick asking for support to help him reach his goal of qualifying for the 2011 Triathlon World Championships. From there, he aims to compete in the Hawaii Iron Man Competition and ultimately represent Great Britain at the Olympics.

Elliott works full time but still maintains an energetic and demanding training schedule to improve his fitness levels, with early morning lake swims, 30 km bike rides, 100 lengths in the pool plus hour long runs . . .and this is just in the week!

Then at weekends, he is either participating in local triathlon events or doing (in his words) ‘long’ swims, bike rides and runs. (more…)

As a company, Jenrick IT has always been very active in supporting both our local community and charities that touch us personally as individuals. One of the schemes we run internally, on a half yearly basis, is called “Helping Hand” where our company gifts £1,000 to a deserving cause.

Any one of our staff who has been touched by an emotive and sad situation that has occurred within their life or someone they know, is able to bring this to the attention of our company. Each case is considered on its merits and then the staff vote to decide where they wish the money to go.

Above gives you a flavour of the environment our staff work within and hopefully goes to explain the reasoning behind the decision I took when a highly unusual situation occurred with one of our contractors recently. (more…)

Pearson is only producing eight company profile films for the series, which will highlight companies that display ‘industry best-practice’ and could have chosen any number of companies throughout the UK and beyond from which to feature. (more…)
