Alex Day, Director of Social Impact
“I’m proud to work for a company with a bold and progressive purpose; improving lives through work. Even though I’ve only been with REED for a few weeks, it’s evident to me that our purpose is not just words on paper, it’s lived and breathed every single day.
“I recently visited our Ipswich office and met Hannah, one of our Temporaries Consultants. She told me about one of her candidates, Scott, who she had recently supported into a role after he had been homeless for 3 years. Even though it was only a 4 day placement, it’s now given him the confidence to seek a qualification and look for longer-term job security… That’s improving lives through work!”
