Definition
Innovation can be defined simply as a “new idea, device or method”. However innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. Such innovation takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies or business models that are made available to markets, governments and society. The term “innovation” can be defined as something original and more effective. Source: Wikipedia

2020 Update
Team JTA entered 2020 with strategic intent to grow and develop Teams to have greater inter-dependancy, our plan was simple but effective and the strategy was on track throughout the bulk of the first quarter.
The 23rd March 2020 saw dramatic change, driving intense focus and challenge on the business and our brilliant Team. Whilst there is no good time for a pandemic, for us at least, we had already commenced the process of greater core skills evaluation including departmental accountability with our Leadership Team and the challenge they faced could never be replicated in any classroom, it was their time to stand up….. And boy did they stand up…. They Shone!!
Never before have we displayed such positivity, grit and determination to do the right thing by our Workers, Candidates and Clients which has been recognised by so many people, organisations and customers; during difficult times this has provided immense core strength.
Reaffirmation of our business model has been achieved, so many of our clients, new, old and prospective, who were previously serviced by multi-site operations have commented on the consistency of Service throughout distressing and difficult times, which drives us even further forward.
The one thing, if anything, I have learnt throughout this period is that, we really are ‘working towards a brighter future’… for ALL!
Joining the Recruitment Industry back in 1997, I spent the first ten years learning my trade and sometimes having to learn the hard way! My early career saw me get the sack, move companies for career progression and being made redundant (not all at the same time, fortunately!), so I’ve had a fairly good exposure into other Recruitment Businesses and the pressures put on people in our Industry.
My redundancy was the catalyst to incorporate JTA and with ten years of working for different companies I was able to take the best bits from the companies I worked with and equally do as much as possible to remove some elements that just didn’t work for me. The primary aim right from the start has been to develop and empower at all levels within the business, which is quite unique within the Industry.
The company name by the way comes from our (Michelle and I) two sons. It seemed the best motivator at the time and still encapsulates our company ethos today, this being one family.
In my spare time I can usually be found in a field with my spaniel and regardless of the weather, donning a pair of wellies!
