Meet Our Managing Director: Ged
Note from the team: Ged, takes ‘business casual’ to a whole new level with a polo shirt for every day of the year. Rumour has it, his closet has more variety than our sector portfolio! Fashion-forward or just a really committed fan of the classics? We’ll let you decide.
Everpool Recruitment has an inspiring journey that originated as a branch of Meridian Business Support Ltd, specifically in the Health and Social Care permanent sector. In 2021, as part of a strategic demerger, our dedicated owner, Rod, sold Meridian Shares. This pivotal moment led Rod and Ged to acquire the Liverpool branch (Perm H&SC) and lay the foundation for Everpool Recruitment.
Key Milestones:
Following the demerger, a comprehensive employee survey was conducted, leading to impactful changes. We reduced working hours from 42 to 37.5, resulting in a remarkable 10% pay increase. We also introduced enhanced flexibility, hybrid working options, and new benefits like Medicash and Death in Service, fostering a positive work environment.
Our Vision: “To strive for ethical excellence as an outstanding permanent recruitment service, delighting customers by motivating and inspiring colleagues to excel. Within 5 years, we aim to be a leading multi-sector consultancy, ranking among the top 10 permanent recruiters in the UK.”
Our Mission: “Customers trust our recruitment solutions for responsiveness, transparency, and attention to detail, reflecting exceptional market value. We strive to understand our clients’ core values, becoming brand ambassadors and an extension of their business. Our people thrive in an ethical environment, with continuous support and development, creating wealth, employment, and contributing to social, charitable, and community causes.”
Business Growth:
Everpool’s growth trajectory is remarkable, with the Health and Social Care sector achieving a turnover of 2 million in 2021–2022, expanding to 2.7 million. We diversified into a multi-sector permanent consultancy and achieved over 3 million in sales in 2023, venturing into new sectors like Office & Commercial, Engineering, Legal & IT, Legal Costs, Property & Construction, Finance, and Fashion & Beauty.
Team and Culture:
Our team has grown from 18 to 30 people in two years, and we have plans for further expansion. Our culture is about community – working together, sharing best practices, good news, and splitting fees.
Values and Inclusivity:
Everpool embraces core values such as Integrity, Trust, Inclusivity, Respect, Accountability, and Creativity. Inclusivity is especially important, demonstrated by our neurodiverse policy and upcoming workshops in the new year. We offer reasonable adjustments to neurodiverse employees whenever possible.
Looking Forward:
As we look ahead, our focus is on accelerating organic growth, expanding the team, and diversifying into new sectors. People are the cornerstone of our business, and with a community ethos, we are committed to delivering for our clients.
