Topic

Celebrating Norfolk Businesses: One Story at a Time

Hear from two inspirational Norfolk businesses who recognised that people were facing tough times during lockdown 1.0. R13 Recruitment started an initiative called Fee Free Friday, where they promoted a candidate using their networks and social media presence, inviting employers to contact them directly (for free) if they had available job opportunities. While Goodery was created as a response to the needs of their community when The Good Host began supporting NHS staff during COVID-19.
