Laura Hewett of Hewett Recruitment, and Emma Fishlock of Real World Consultancy have joined forces to create a forum for BCorp organisations across the three counties ( Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire) to connect, exchange knowledge, build meaningful partnerships, and lay the foundation for a mission-driven collective that has the potential to evolve into a BLocal community.
We are aiming the group at business owners/ individuals responsible for overseeing BCorp accreditation within their companies. We're organising an initial get together on November 17th 10am-12pm in Worcester to bring together those who are interested.
During this meetup, Laura and Emma will lead discussions to:
• Introduce all BCorps in the room.
• Explore ways in which we can offer support to each other.
• Work out what we as a group want to get from this forum.
• Determine the frequency, format, structure, and topics for future meetings.
• Discuss the potential of achieving BLocal status as a group.
Our aim is to keep these meetups informal and centred around community-building rather than sales. Participation in our initial meet up would offer valuable insights into what you'd like to see from the group moving forward.
Currently, there are almost 50 BCorp-certified businesses across the three counties so we believe there's substantial potential not only to support one another but also to inspire other businesses to join the BCorp movement.

" I have been liaising with Kate and she has been excellent. I have got my last two jobs through Kate at Hewett. Kate is a good listener and always keeps in touch when she is arranging an interview and following through the process afterwards. 10 all round and I would recommend Hewett Recruitment to others."

"My first contact was with Lisa by telephone. She was happy, friendly, helpful and very positive. I then spoke to Millie who was very kind, understanding, she listened and was interested in me finding the most suitable and comfortable role with my skills. She explained the process and was very helpful, friendly and very nice to speak to. Millie went out of her way to help me and get me a job. Also payroll who emailed me was very helpful. After starting work I received a text from Lisa asking how I was and this made me feel like I’m not alone. It’s been a very positive good experience and I would rate all of it 10 in all areas."

"The communication from Anthony has been excellent. One thing I appreciated from the start was he outlined how he approached dealing with the Employer/Client. It was made clear that the Employer would be contacted every couple of days for an update. From my perspective there is nothing worse than not knowing what is going on, so to hear this was very positive indeed. I would receive either a phone call or an email from Anthony with an update, even if that update were simply to say, “still waiting to hear. We initially had a 15-20 minute phone conversation where I outlined my requirements and salary expectations. Anthony has shown he listened and the vacancies put forward have been roles of interest."

"I would score a 10 out of 10 for service. It was all done nice and easy - very quick also. I would recommend a friend etc. Communication has been good, as well as knowledge around the industry I chose. Been good with my needs as well, as I suffer from anxiety. All has been brilliant. Thankyou!"
"All has been brilliant. Thankyou!"
"We’re very happy with the quality of service you provide and recommend your services to others. Given the long-standing relationship between us, you have a good understanding of our requirements and the candidates you put forward for consideration are well-matched to our needs, both technically and – just as importantly – in terms of fitting in with the team. This simplifies and shortens the recruiting process and makes life much easier for us. Many thanks for your continued support."
