Perseverance = Success
I recently listened to an interesting Podcast of an interview with Gerry Calabrese, founder and CEO of premium drinks brand Hoxton spirits - a fascinating guest with a colourful background. A couple of his quotes got me thinking: "The difference between success and failure is perseverance" and "You've got to enjoy the process… even if you end up failing".
These are so true within the Recruitment Industry. Our recruiters at True North Talent succeed because they make that extra call, go that extra mile, take another "no" on the chin and keep persevering. If you don't enjoy what you do in our industry and if you don't follow the process, you'll never be successful.
Other similarities in Gerry's rise to success are that he followed his dreams, seized many opportunities, demonstrated such passion, worked hard and was totally dedicated in all his endeavours. He talks about building brands - as we are doing here.
He is fanatical about making spirits - we are fanatical about delivering exceptional service to our candidates and clients. He says you need to enjoy the adversities and challenges as you will learn more from them than the successes.
So, follow Gerry's wise words - be prepared to go the distance, keep going when everything feels impossible and when most people would give up. That perseverance will create success.

HelloFresh vs Gousto…
I’m a sucker for a good discount code, and I’ve seen numerous influencers posting codes lately about HelloFresh and Gousto so I thought I’d give them a try. Although recipe boxes have been around awhile now, I’m totally new to trying them. There’s a few pros and cons I’ve noticed so far.
Why Talent Shortages are More Damaging Than Supply Chain Issues
In the Food and Drink manufacturing industry, we're no strangers to disruption. From Brexit to Covid, global conflicts to raw material shortages, supply chains have taken a beating over the last few years. And while those headlines have dominated, there's a quieter, more dangerous challenge threatening the industry's long term stability: the talent shortage. Yes, a late shipment can throw off your production line. But a missing team leader, technical manager, or site director? That can derail your entire operation.
A Lens whilst Shopping
There was an article this week in the Food Manufacture by Bethan Grylls, titled "Reading food and drink labels with sight loss" - and how food manufacturing companies can make their packaging more inclusive and accessible for those with visual impairments. It is a really insightful article exploring the world of a VIP (Visually Impaired Person) and certainly made me think of scenarios I hadn't thought of before - how are VIPs expected to navigate their way around a supermarket and read food and drink labels. As a coeliac, I wear my glasses on my head in the supermarket as I am constantly trying to read the ever decreasing font size on food labelling to ensure the product I buy is safe for me! I cannot imagine how challenging it must be for VIPs. It will be interesting to see how the technologies currently available and those yet to be invented, can help VIPs and those of us whose eyesight is likely to deteriorate further.
