VHR Shortlisted for 11 Industry Awards

<p><span data-contrast="auto">On the 26</span><span data-contrast="auto">th of</span><span data-contrast="auto">&nbsp;July 2023 VHR took on the challenge to raise money for Bede House, a local charity to our London office.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span><span data-contrast="auto">2 bikes, 20 hours, 1 team.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Who took part?</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">30 people in the VHR London Office and one employee all the way from our UAE office took part in this momentous charity event for VHR. The push for everyone to take part in this activity was supported highly by VHR&rsquo;s CEO Danny Brooks, who said&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span><span data-contrast="auto">&ldquo;</span><em><span data-contrast="none">The event is meant to be fun but challenging. We are supporting a local charity &ndash; BEDE that supports people who are a lot less fortunate than ourselves&rdquo;.&nbsp;</span></em><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">VHR are renowned for taking part in charity events over the years, the latest being the London Marathon where our Management Accountant Alexander Giles took part and finished with an outstanding time of 3 hours, 40 minutes, and 40 seconds. In previous years, our CEO Danny Brooks and Ryan Abbot our Divisional Director also took part. VHR have also previously taken part in Macmillan Coffee Mornings, The Captains Ride, Loud Shirt Day&rsquo;s, Movember, The Santa Run, Edinburgh Marathon and Christmas Jumper Day all in aid of different charities around the world. Raising over &pound;25,000 for charity in the past four years, VHR was ready to take on our next big challenge.&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><strong><span data-contrast="none">Why have we chosen this activity?</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p><span data-contrast="none">To celebrate VHR turning 20 this year, VHR wanted to choose an activity that would drive our team, with some people taking it slow and others pushing themselves to their limits, we wanted to find an activity that was fit for everyone. The charity we are cycling for, BEDE House, supports a wide variety of people; People with learning difficulties, Youth, People who have suffered domestic abuse and the local community. Danny shared the main reason we are doing this is that &ldquo;</span><em><span data-contrast="none">all these people have lives a lot more challenging than sitting on a bike for an hour or so and raising a bit of money for charity. A little bit of effort on our side will make a world of difference to the people that BEDE helps&rdquo;.</span></em><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><strong><span data-contrast="none">Who are we helping?</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p><span data-contrast="none">VHR chose to support BEDE House for this charity event due to the fact that we are celebrating our 20</span><span data-contrast="none">th</span><span data-contrast="none">&nbsp;birthday and 20 years in the Bermondsey area, we wanted to give back to those who help our local community. Throughout the 20 years of VHR, we have strived to help those around us through a variety of schemes and charity days. BEDE House are a charity based in Bermondsey, London, who focus primarily on providing comprehensive support to address various challenges. With a legacy dating back to 1938, they have dedicated their time to empowering both the youth and elderly, enabling them to lead enriching and fulfilling lives. To achieve this, we have meticulously designed four distinct programs, each tailored to cater to specific needs within the community</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><strong><span data-contrast="none">How did it go?</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p><span data-contrast="none">The overall day was a great success for all those who took part in the office and for the charity. So far, as of the 28</span><span data-contrast="none">th of</span><span data-contrast="none">&nbsp;July, VHR have raised &pound;1,450 out of our &pound;1,500 target. Starting at 6am, the team consecutively pedalled on rotation for 20 hours, swapping out either every 30 minutes, hour or for one individual an hour and a half. The floods of donations kept the team motivated and driven to succeed to the end of the 20 hours, even when there were only 3 people left in the office on the graveyard shift, Danny stated &ldquo;I wanted to be there at both the start and the end to see this through, I am a big advocate of raising money for charity, exercise and motivating those around me to push through and complete the challenge&rdquo;.&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">VHR always strives to do the most in each activity they do, and this charity event was no different, we are extremely proud of how well the team rallied together to complete the 20 hours and achieving an astonishing 855.02 miles overall. The fastest time was cycled 15 miles in 30 minutes, which is a brilliant effort by a VHR team member.</span></p>

VHR Charity Bike Ride Event

<p>Earlier this month VHR celebrated our 20th birthday. We took this time as a team to consider just how far VHR has come in the space of 20 years. A large focus of ours was to give thanks to those who have pushed, supported, and followed us since our establishment in 2003. &nbsp;</p>
<p>With it being such a momentous occasion for VHR, we wanted to celebrate this milestone in style. The festivities encompassed several different components, starting with a vacation for all our UK based employees to Paphos, Cyprus, in May. Followed with a lively summer gathering designed to foster unity among clients, past and present employees, and family of VHR. In parallel, our London office is actively participating in a fantastic 20-hour charity bike ride event, dedicated to raising funds and contributing back to our local community which we have now been based in for two decades.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>VHR Summer Holiday to Cyprus&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The&nbsp;staff trip to Paphos, Cyprus, from the 11th to the 14th of May 2023 was an unforgettable experience for the 40 staff members in attendance. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the luxurious boat excursion, where we were all able to indulge in a delectable authentic Greek cuisine prepared in front of us on the BBQ. Whilst exploring the vibrant hot spots of Coral Bay, VHR had the opportunity to dive into and explore the mesmerizingly clear waters. This trip not only provided us with a chance to unwind and celebrate the last 20 years of VHR, but it also served as a platform to enhance our teamwork skills throughout the VHR Sports Day. Everyone was able to engage in a variety of enjoyable activities such as an egg and spoon race, tug of war and water polo. As the trip drew to a close, we all gathered for a delightful 3-course dinner at the hotel restaurant, creating a relaxed atmosphere for conversations and reflections.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to the mentioned activities, we also organised a company presentation where we had an in-depth discussion about current company issues, goals, and targets. It provided us with an opportunity to align our vision and strategy as a team. VHR had a large focus to brainstorm and discuss future ideas for us, aiming to improve our collaboration and enhance the overall experience for our clients and candidates.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The holiday was a success and an amazing way to share the success with our hardworking and dedicated team from the London office. We are looking forward to the UAE office trip later in the year.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>VHR 20th Birthday Summer Party in London&nbsp;</h2>
<p>To further celebrate the 20th anniversary of VHR, the Marketing Team designed a networking event to bring all of our&nbsp;clients, friends and family together to celebrate. Located at&nbsp;the Royal Aeronautical Society, this event was filled with photos, videos, and memorabilia from the last two decades. The evening offered a variety of food, a specially designed VHR cocktail and a saxophone player for our guests to enjoy. We provided an area where guests could leave well wishes for both our CEO, Danny Brooks, and our COO Paul Robinson. One guest wrote &ldquo;Thank you very much for everything, we are really valuing it and congratulations on your big achievement&rdquo; with another mentioning &ldquo;a fantastic evening at a beautiful venue celebrating how far VHR have come with a wonderful team&rdquo;. &nbsp;</p>
<p>To honour the night even further, two close friends of VHR took part in their own incredibly special celebratory videos. As we work extremely closely within the aviation and automotive industries, we asked a close friend to film a short clip for us in a fighter jet. The other video includes George King, an up-and-coming racing car driver. &nbsp;</p>
<p>We are overjoyed that our clients and friends travelled from across the world to attend our party, it was the highest turnout event in VHR history. Thank you to all those who came and enjoyed the night with us.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>VHR Charity Cycle for BEDE House&nbsp;</h2>
<p>VHR believes strongly in giving back to the community that we have been a part of for the last 20 years. Overtime we have raised a large amount of money for a variety of different charities across the country the most recent event was the 2023 London Marathon which was ran by our Management Accountant, Alex Giles, in an amazing time of 3 hours, 40 minutes and 40 seconds. &nbsp;</p>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s latest fundraising activity is a 20-hour cycle in aid of a local charity, BEDE House Association. The charity cycle, happening on the 26th July, involves two stationary exercise bikes placed in the London Office, where our staff will continuously rotate between each other for 20 hours, completing anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours on the bikes. The aim is to get everyone active and for an exceptionally good cause, with Danny stating, &ldquo;It is for charity after all, we don&rsquo;t just want to be doing a few hours, we are turning 20 so why not make it for 20 hours!&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>
<p>BEDE House, who are based in Bermondsey, London, are also sending representatives on the day to support the VHR staff on their incredible endeavour for charity.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We look forward to trying to raise as much money as we can for such a great charity.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What It's Like To Work At VHR</h2>
<p>VHRs head office is situated in Central London, on the River Thames. London being the smallest city in England, it is home to over 8 million people from around the globe. VHR much like London, has a diverse and interesting team working in the centre of an energetic and thriving city.</p>
<p>As a global technical recruitment company, we work with engineers from over 52 countries across the world. This allows some of our team members to regularly fly out to greet clients to help support on-going projects. These visits can see our employees stop by harbours in Spain, airports in Abu Dhabi, or racetracks in Italy. In addition, our team also frequently attend international trade shows for our industries, helping us to stay up to date with everything our sectors have to offer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>At VHR we reward our top performers who meet their yearly targets with a holiday. In September 2022 the high performers trip was to Faro, Portugal, and allowed individuals to fly out and enjoy some well-deserved time off.&nbsp; Whats more, everybody who wins an award or is a top performer from each month is invited to attend a luxury meal.</p>
<p>On top of this, if all targets are met, every summer VHR fly out for a full company holiday. This is a great way of rewarding all staff for their continuous hard work, as well as giving people from different departments and offices the chance to build relationships and relax. This helps to build more, ignite friendships and is repeatedly one of the highlights in the VHR calendar.</p>
<p>Whilst most companies hold a Christmas Party, VHR also hosts a party in the summer. Letting the team thoroughly enjoy themselves in the summer sun. Commonly supplied with drinks and dinner, this party is for the whole team who work hard all year long.</p>
<p>Each month VHR hosts a social event for the team. These are different every month, previously they have been dinners, go-karting, ping-pong, bowling, airsoft, barbecues, paintballing and many other fun activities. These are a great way to boost team spirit, these events are always fun and something for all of us to look forward to.</p>
<p>A few years ago, VHR introduced the flexi-time initiative which includes hybrid working. This permits employees to take more control over their time. Now able to start at any time between half seven and nine in the morning, the scheme helps our employees who have children, or have to commute in. It also gives the team more freedom to attend additional activities at a time that&rsquo;s better suited for them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>The Closure of Doncaster Airport</h2>
<p>After a difficult few years, the aviation industry has taken yet another hit with the recent announcement of Doncaster Airports planned closure. The provision of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oilspillresponse.com/news--media/news/aviation-update---doncaster-airport-closure/#:~:text=Our%20Wide%20Area%20Dispersant%20Application,commencing%20Monday%2C%2031st%20October%202022." target="_blank" rel="noopener">aviation services at Doncaster Airport</a>&nbsp;will start to wind down during the week commencing Monday, 31st October 2022.&nbsp;</p>

VHR Reaches 70,000 LinkedIn Followers

<p>VHR is beyond delighted to announce that we have won two awards in the Global Business Excellence Awards 2022. VHR have been awarded the title of International Trade &amp; Employer of the Year</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Global Business Excellence Awards Programme</h2>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gbeawards.com/" rel="noopener">Awards programme</a>, aim to recognise and reward business excellence across all sectors, private, public and charity. Open to organisations of any size and individuals, based anywhere in the world, entries are encouraged from those that feel they are working smarter than their competitors to create a business edge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>International Trade</h3>
<p>This award category looked at how the entered companies penetrate international markets, which is a huge challenge for many businesses, especially when considering the difficulties facing many companies during the pandemic and post-Brexit. GBE wanted to hear of company&rsquo;s success stories and the impact they had within the business sector.</p>
<p>Commenting on VHR, the winner in the International Trade category, the chairman of the judges said: &ldquo;Congratulations to UK-based international technical recruitment specialists VHR for responding to the uncertainty around Brexit by targeting new overseas markets outside Europe, enabling it to report that 72% of business is international. The company&rsquo;s strategy to take on staff with second languages with a number coming from outside the UK was a wise move that has boosted overseas contract placements and helped when setting up onsite offices. VHR has generated significant foreign revenue and helped to position the UK as an expert in technical recruitment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Employer of the Year</h3>

VHR Win A Southern Enterprise Award

<p>VHR has now changed our working routine to incorporate hybrid working. This will be continuing indefinitely as has been a proven success with our employees.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hybrid working has become an increasingly popular method of working as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The hybrid working model involves working employees working both remotely from home and working from one of VHR&rsquo;s seven offices.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">VHR&rsquo;s New Working Schedule:</span></h3>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s employees took part in an anonymous survey earlier this year where they were asked a series of questions regarding their working hours/location. VHR puts employee feedback at the forefront of our internal strategy and a happy workplace results in a positive working atmosphere and high performance from all teams. VHR already has a variety of benefits for our employees and is always looking for ways to improve. Hybrid working will be added to this <a href="https://www.v-hr.com/work-at-vhr/">list of VHR&rsquo;s perks.</a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s staff are now required to be in the office 3 days a week &ndash; ideally but not subject to attending the offices Tuesday-Thursday. This is to have company meetings, increase team morale and get the atmosphere back into the office after a year and various different lockdowns and isolations.&nbsp;</p>

VHR TURNS 18!

<p>VHR are delighted to announce that our Founder and CEO Danny Brooks has been awarded an MBE.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Royal Recognition for Recruitment Services</strong></h3>
<p>Danny was named in the 2021 New Years&rsquo; Honours List for services to International Trade. Danny was one of only 12 business leaders to be honoured for services to International Trade this year.</p>
<p>An appointment to the Order of the British Empire, an MBE (Member of the British Empire) is awarded for outstanding achievement or service to the community in Britain and around the world.</p>
<p>The honours system was established by King George during&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/world-war-1/">World War One</a>&nbsp;in 1917 to honour the efforts of civilians and servicemen in non-combat roles. Danny joins an exclusive list of world-leading entrepreneurs and innovators from a variety of backgrounds.</p>
<p>The UK Government&rsquo;s International Trade Secretary, Liz Truss, comments:</p>
<p>&lsquo;All those being honoured have made a terrific contribution to the UK over the past year, whether it be leading the fight against coronavirus or helping champion free and fair trade across the world. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their hard work.</p>
<p>More trade and investment is vital to delivering the jobs and economic growth we need to recover from the pandemic and build back better. Our innovative and go-getting exporters are critical to that, and we will continue to support them as they look to sell more of their wares overseas this coming year and beyond.&rsquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>International Business Success</strong></h3>
<p>Since its inception in 2003, VHR has provided employment for over 12,000 people across 52 different countries. The business has achieved revenues in excess of &pound;250 Million, of which 73% has been derived from international clients.</p>
<p>The honour is further recognition for Danny, who was named Global Director of the Year by the Institute of Directors (IoD) in 2018 &amp; 2020.</p>
<p>On receiving his MBE, Danny comments:</p>
<p>&lsquo;To receive an MBE is a great honour. The honour belongs to all the talented people that work at VHR and who have helped drive the business forward and across the globe over the past 17 years.</p>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s first clients were based in Switzerland, Mauritius and Singapore. International business has always been at the heart of what we do. We work with our clients to create talent where it is does not exist through training, relocation or a combination of both. The ethical treatment of our workers is at the forefront of what we do and we are proud to have co-founded the Fair Labour Alliance, which promotes ethical working practices across supply chains.</p>
<p>After a challenging year this is a welcome piece of good news and sets us up for 2021 on a very, very positive note. I am beyond honoured and thankful to have been awarded an MBE, and look forward to continuing to drive business growth for our clients and career prospects for our candidates in 2021.&rsquo;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the 17 years since founding VHR&rsquo;s technical recruitment consultancy, Danny&rsquo;s list of business achievements include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Receiving the Queen&rsquo;s Award for Enterprise: International Trade in 2018</li>
<li>Growing VHR to 100 employees, increasing our team by 50% in two years</li>
<li>Expanding to 8 international offices across London, Manchester, Dublin, Leipzig, Prague, Bologna, Nicosia and Abu Dhabi</li>
<li>Raising over &pound;25,000 for charity in the past two years.</li>

 VHR’s CEO and Founder Awarded MBE

<p>Through the past seven months VHR's team have been navigating our way through the situation as it progresses around the world, and communicating with our clients and candidates to find out how we can best support them.</p>
<p>VHR are now excited to introduce our new campaign,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.v-hr.com/engineer-locator-form" rel="noopener">The Engineer Locator Form (ELF)</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>What Is The ELF?</h1>
<p>The Coronavirus pandemic has caused unprecedented levels of devastation to workers and businesses around the world and with various travel restrictions across the globe, VHR are here to help. We are currently working hard, pairing up a variety of technical jobs with Engineers in over 56 countries worldwide.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When speaking with candidates we have found a common problem that keeps occurring. It is that they are stuck in certain countries, when their contract work has ended/ending, or they have been let go early, and are unable to get home due to the various travel restrictions and quarantines.&nbsp;&nbsp;When talking to clients, we have also found a similar problem. They cannot get the workers in to these locations to fill the positions.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our recruitment specialists have been matching clients to candidates globally to minimise effect of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Quarantines</li>
<li>Travel restrictions</li>
<li>Lockdowns</li>
<li>COVID tests</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>VHR's ELF campaign was created in order to help fix this problem. <strong>&lsquo;The Engineer Locator Form&rsquo;&nbsp;</strong>is&nbsp; a form that engineers need to fill out providing their job title, cv, type ratings &amp; location in order for our recruitment specialists to then match it with the various roles our clients are struggling to place.</p>

The annual UAE branch of the Awards recognises those staffing providers excelling in the Gulf region.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Best Engineering Recruitment Company</strong></h3>

<p>This award recognises staffing specialists who have achieved impressive results in the Construction &amp; Engineering sectors in the region over the past three years. Winners have also been selected for their success in building long-term client and candidate partnerships, and for playing a critical role in business and industry growth in the UAE.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

VHR Win UAE Recruitment Award

<h3><strong>What is IR35?</strong></h3>
<p>Originally introduced in 2000, the piece of&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35">legislation</a></u>&nbsp;will soon be updated, with new changes coming in to force in April 2020.</p>
<p>The law was designed to increase the collection of income tax from people who work through an &ldquo;intermediary&rdquo;, for example: an umbrella company or personal services company.</p>
<p>From April, the existing off-payroll rules being extended from public sector to public and private sectors. The concept of IR35 status for tax and national insurance is not changing, but how the IR35 status determination decision is made and how the rules applicable to that status are then applied is changing.</p>
<p>There is still no final legislation, and the next UK budget has been delayed to 11th March 2020, when the government is expected to release further information.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>How Will Contractor Status Be Determined?</strong></h3>
<p><u>Inside IR35 Status</u>&nbsp;&ndash; If the intermediary did not exist and the individual works in a way that makes them look like an employee of the client, they&rsquo;ll be deemed to be an employee for tax purposes and pay employee rates of income tax and national insurance.</p>
<p><u>Outside IR35 Status</u>&nbsp;&ndash; The individual does not work in a way that they look like an employee, so they&rsquo;re deemed to be self-employed for tax purposes and pay self-employed rates of income tax.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>What Will IR35 Mean for Businesses?</strong></h3>
<p>From 6th April 2020, the off-payroll rules will also apply to medium and large private sector businesses.</p>
<p>Companies will need to issue a Status Determination Statement to state if a role is &lsquo;inside&rsquo; or &lsquo;outside&rsquo; IR35 (i.e. where a contractor sits in legal terms).</p>
<p>The rules will not apply to small companies that meet two or more of the following conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Has a turnover of not more than &pound;10.2million</li>
<li>Has a balance sheet total of not more than &pound;5.1million</li>
<li>Has no more than 50 employees</li>
</ul>
<p>IR35 will still apply to companies in small groups and joint ventures, if the parent company or any parties in the joint venture are not small; and unincorporated organisations with a turnover of &pound;10.2million or more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>What Will Change?</strong></h3>
<p>The new rules will apply to all payments made on or after that date (not just work completed). HMRC state that statutory payments and employment rights will not be affected by these changes.</p>
<p>The off-payroll rules take precedence over managed service company legislation and Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>How Can Businesses Determine Whether IR35 Applies to Them?</strong></h3>
<p>&middot; Create a Status Determination Statement</p>
<p>&middot; The client must take reasonable care when making their status decision, otherwise liability for unpaid tax and NICs will transfer to it, i.e. they&rsquo;ll become the fee-payer</p>
<p>&middot; CEST tool on HMRC website</p>
<p>&middot; Could use IR35 consultancies but HMRC won&rsquo;t necessarily support their decision</p>
<h3><strong>How can companies prepare for IR35?</strong></h3>
<p>Act now &ndash; the law changes in April 2020 &ndash; so a detailed plan of action will prepare companies for the legislation changes.</p>
<p>All workers must be individually assessed to see if they fall within IR35. Companies can use the UK Government&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-employment-status-for-tax">CEST tool</a></u>&nbsp;to do this.</p>
<p>Engaging a&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.v-hr.com/about-us/">recruitment company specialising in compliance</a></u>&nbsp;will provide additional expert help with your workforce planning and recruitment strategy.</p>

VHR Exhibiting at Monaco Yacht Show

<p>With global migration of workers increasingly necessary to business productivity, and instances of modern slavery at record highs, ethical and efficient recruitment methods are more vital than ever before.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s how VHR is helping workers achieve a better quality of life, whilst supporting the industries we love and giving back to local and global communities.</p>
<h2><strong>Building a New Generation of Workers</strong></h2>
<p>Numerous European Union (EU) countries are experiencing an urgent skills shortage across engineering positions, particularly of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and civil engineers. 42% of Aviation business leaders and 22% of Engineering business leaders marked a shortage of technical skills as the single biggest challenge facing their companies in the coming years, and the UK alone must produce&nbsp;<u><a href="https://blog.v-hr.com/blog/how-to-address-the-engineering-shortage">180,000 more skilled engineering recruits</a>&nbsp;</u>a year just to meet current demand.</p>
<p>Rapid developments in software, AI and cyber security are also increasing global demand for a widening range of new skills.</p>
<p>What happens when this talent can&rsquo;t be found inside the EU?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Driving Social Mobility Across the World</strong></h2>
<p>VHR finds the talent needed around the world when not available domestically by scouring the globe to deliver skilled talent through ethical solutions. We incorporate, register, obtain labour licenses and continually strive to improve our practices to provide high quality contract and permanent workers around the world.</p>
<p>We are addressing the European skills shortage in a variety of ways:</p>
<p>&middot; Sourcing &ndash; VHR&rsquo;s international recruitment team travel the globe to conduct recruitment drives and assessment centres in the home countries of our candidates.</p>
<p>&middot; Business Leader Consultations &ndash; We regularly consult with our global networks of business leaders across Aerospace &amp; Aviation, F1 &amp; Automotive, Engineering &amp; Defence and Marine. By discovering the skills shortages</p>
<p>&middot; Training &ndash; When talent does not exist, VHR creates it. We work in candidate home countries to identify potential workers and equip them with the skills required by our client businesses. We partner with airlines, MROs and automotive businesses to conduct intensive short training programmes and compliantly transport the workers to the client site following their training.</p>
<p>&middot; Upskilling Communities &ndash; When workers return to their home countries, they bring back highly specialist skills which local communities could not previously access, and help the next generation to build their own successful careers.</p>
<p>&middot; Schools &ndash; VHR&rsquo;s team of technical recruitment consultants visit schools, colleges and universities to speak to provide careers advice to young people and increase awareness of the exciting careers our industries provide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Truly International Services</strong></h2>
<p>The first-hand knowledge and experiences of our diverse workforce provide the flexibility to adapt to fluctuating markets and client demands, and the expertise to engage with candidates of many nationalities and best support migrant workers. With international business at the core of VHR, our team originate from over 20 nationalities and a variety of backgrounds, speaking 24 languages.</p>
<p>VHR provides legally compliant recruitment solutions to provide vital skills that businesses could not otherwise access, and provide migrant workers with ethical services, fair pay and rewarding careers.</p>

<p>We won at The Southwark Business awards last year as well for Best Employer and Entrepreneur of the Year.</p>
<p>VHR is delighted that our hard work is being recognized, every award we win is a testament to the dedication and exemplary work our staff do.</p>

VHR Has Won The Southwark Business Award For Best Medium Business!

<p>VHR are proud to announce the launch of the Fair Labour Alliance.</p>
<p><u><a href="https://www.fairlabouralliance.com/">The Fair Labour Alliance</a>&nbsp;(FLA)</u>is a new initiative serving to promote ethical recruitment and labour practices across the world.</p>
<p>The FLA aims to benefit business leaders, workers and the global economy by setting industry standards and best practices for ethical recruitment. From June 2019, an exclusive group of pioneering business leaders, government departments and international organisations are working through the FLA to help companies create efficient and sustainable labour supply chains.</p>
<p>VHR is a Founding Partner of the FLA, which is also supported the&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development">UK Department for International Development</a></u>,&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/?utm_expid=.fHswE8FWRiSIK6F5raFRhQ.0&amp;utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F">King&rsquo;s College London</a>&nbsp;</u>and&nbsp;<u><a href="http://fsi-worldwide.com/">FSI Worldwide</a></u>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Why is Ethical Labour Important?</strong></h2>
<p>The&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.ilo.org/global/lang--en/index.htm">International Labour Organisation</a>&nbsp;</u>(ILO) estimates that 40.3 million people worldwide are currently working under modern slavery practices, with 24.9 million people working in forced labour.</p>
<p>In addition to providing the best possible worker care, ethical labour practices are proven to improve worker efficiency, production quality and staff retention. Businesses with unethical recruitment practices face significant fines and possible prosecution under UK, European and US laws.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>How to Implement Fair Labour Processes</strong></h2>
<p>Although governments across continents have introduced measures to tackle labour exploitation and abuse, many business leaders across the globe lack the tools and support to improve recruitment and supply chain practices.</p>
<p>The FLA aims to increase awareness about labour practices, advise businesses about how to implement ethical recruitment, and protect workers from being exploited.</p>
<p>The FLA will provide business leaders with:</p>
<p>&middot; Practical Expert Advice &ndash; How to introduce successful fair labour practices</p>
<p>&middot; Case Studies &ndash; How world-leading companies are benefiting from ethical recruitment</p>
<p>&middot; Best Practice Project Plans &ndash; practical support to help build fair labour processes</p>
<p>&middot; Network Connections &ndash; attendance at exclusive events to share recruitment and labour challenges and solutions</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>VHR Supporting Ethical Working Practices</strong></h2>
<p>Recruiting and onboarding thousands of contract staff globally every year, VHR strives to improve the working lives of our contractors. Because we prominently support&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.v-hr.com/about-us/">ethical recruitment practices</a></u>, our services incorporate the Dhaka Principles to provide high quality accommodation and protection from mistreatment, and working relationships are built on communication and respect.</p>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s Divisional Director of Middle East Recruitment,&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.v-hr.com/team/adrian-mansfield/">Adrian Mansfield</a>&nbsp;</u>comments, &lsquo;Supporting the FLA further demonstrates VHR&rsquo;s status as an ethical recruitment agency. We are delighted to announce our part in leading ethical labour practices for the benefit of businesses and workers around the world, and look forward to driving business success and worker welfare.&rsquo;</p>

VHR Opens Republic of Ireland Office

<p>On Sunday 10th March VHR&rsquo;s CEO Danny Brooks completed the Cape Argus Cycle Race for charity.</p>
<h2><strong>The Cape Argus Cycle Race</strong></h2>
<p>The Cape Argus Cycle Race is the largest cycle race in the world.</p>

<p>In its 41st year, the race is part of Cape Town Cycle Tour Lifecycle Week: a nine-day celebration of all things cycling. The annual cycle race is hosted in South Africa and usually extends 109 km in length.</p>
<p>The race presented an added challenge to Danny: the March cycle ride was Danny&rsquo;s first time on his bike since crashing in October. Danny suffered an injury in&nbsp;<u><a href="https://blog.v-hr.com/news/vhrs-charity-cycle-ride-the-captains-ride">last year&rsquo;s Captain&rsquo;s Ride across Australia</a></u>, but didn&rsquo;t let a broken collarbone stop his passion for sport and charitable causes.</p>
<p>The race conditions were difficult with 60kmh winds, but despite the weather, the team thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.</p>
<p>Danny completed the race in a time of 4 hours and 12 minutes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Fundraising: Charity in Recruitment</strong></h2>
<p>Danny joined former Olympic Gold medal winner Daley Thompson to raise money for the charity&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.laureus.com/">Laureus</a></u>.</p>
<p>Laureus&rsquo; first Patron was revolutionary activist and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. At the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards in 2000, President Mandela commented: &ldquo;Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Nelson Mandela&rsquo;s speech has become the philosophy of Laureus, and the driving belief of uniting and inspiring people is the purpose behind its charitable work.</p>
<p>With VHR&rsquo;s sponsorship, Danny raised &pound;1000 for Laureus.</p>
<p>Last year VHR raised &pound;12,000 for a variety of charitable causes &ndash;&nbsp;<u><a href="https://blog.v-hr.com/news/vhrs-charity-in-recruitment">find out more</a></u>.</p>

VHR Wins Onrec Creative Online Marketing Award

<p>VHR&rsquo;s Christmas Party was a great success, celebrating a year of hard work and growth for the company.</p>
<h2><strong>A VHR Christmas</strong></h2>
<p>The party started with the annual Christmas jumper day, with dozens of our London staff wearing Christmas Jumpers to raise money for Save The Children on Christmas Jumper Day. Some jumpers were Christmassy to the extreme, others more subtle and some plain ironic. In total VHR raised &pound;89.78 for children in developing countries.</p>
<p>Our 80 employees from all over the world &ndash; our five global offices span London, Manchester, Prague, Valencia and Abu Dhabi &ndash; were present to enjoy VHR&rsquo;s Christmas event. Everyone attended the London office for an end of year presentation, highlighting VHR&rsquo;s international achievements,&nbsp;<u><a href="https://blog.v-hr.com/news/vhr-wins-5-awards">multiple award wins</a>&nbsp;</u>and recruitment milestones.</p>
<p>In the afternoon the entire company went bowling, with teams being made up of members from all departments. As expected the level of talent varied wildly from person to person, with Marketing Assistant&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.v-hr.com/team/jennifer-robinson">Jennifer Robinson</a>&nbsp;</u>managing to bowl a staggering 4 gutter balls in a row, and Onsite Co-Ordinator&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.v-hr.com/team/bogdan-tilicea/">Bogdan Tilicea</a></u>&nbsp;claiming the title of Bowling Champion.</p>

<h2><strong>A Great Place to Work</strong></h2>
<p>After bowling, VHR employees enjoyed a masquerade ball at The Royal Aeronautical Society, where the entire company enjoyed extravagant outfits, fantastic food and questionable dancing.</p>
<p>Awards were given out to the highest performers of the year: top billers, hardworking support heroes and people who made a significant difference to our business and our team.</p>
<p>The Christmas party is something almost every work place does, but something that we want to do really well. Our&nbsp;<u><a href="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3329963/Work%20for%20VHR%20Award-Winning%20Recruitment%20Agency.pdf">Employee Engagement Programme</a>&nbsp;</u>thrives on the input and insight of our team: the masquerade ball was actually an idea one of our employees, and everyone threw themselves into it and really made the night special.</p>
<p>Events like the annual Christmas party are just one of the ways we show our appreciation to our teams and reward hard work and dedication.</p>
<p>We offer 21 bespoke employee benefits &ndash;&nbsp;<u><a href="https://www.v-hr.com/work-at-vhr/">find out more about working for VHR</a></u>.</p>

VHR Become Members of NZ Marine

<p>VHR&rsquo;s CEO Danny Brooks sets off on the Captain&rsquo;s Ride across Australia in aid of charitable causes.</p>
<p>On 29th October 2018 Danny started&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stevewaughfoundation.com.au/the-captains-ride/">The Captain&rsquo;s Ride</a>, the beginning of an epic journey across Australia. For the next week Danny will be spending up to 9 hours a day on a bike to support children with rare diseases.</p>
<p>This year&rsquo;s Captain&rsquo;s Ride features a cycle ride from Melbourne 800km towards Sydney and climbing 12,000 vertical metres. The team&rsquo;s journey is the equivalent of cycling from sea level up to the top of Mount Everest, going back down to the bottom and then cycling halfway up again.</p>
<p>The Captain&rsquo;s Ride 2018 involves more climbing than previous years and will offer the toughest challenge yet.<img src="https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=2016&amp;name=The%20Captain%27s%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 2016px) 100vw, 2016px" srcset="https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=1008&amp;name=The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg 1008w, https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=2016&amp;name=The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg 2016w, https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=3024&amp;name=The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg 3024w, https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=4032&amp;name=The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg 4032w, https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=5040&amp;name=The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg 5040w, https://blog.v-hr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg?width=6048&amp;name=The%20Captain's%20Ride%20VHR%20Global%20Technical%20Recruitment%20Cycles%20Around%20Australia%20for%20Charity.jpg 6048w" alt="The Captain's Ride VHR Global Technical Recruitment Cycles Around Australia for Charity" width="500"></p>

<ul>
<li>Individual Grants &ndash; for medicine, specialized equipment and treatment therapies, for children and young adults (0-25yrs)</li>

<p>On the first day of the Captain&rsquo;s Ride, Danny and the team achieved:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cycling a 112km total distance</li>
<li>Tackling a 40km long hill &ndash; Danny was first to reach the top</li>
<li>Highlights &ndash; After getting off to a great (but chilly!) start, this morning&rsquo;s freezing temperatures gave way to sunshine around midday and a warmer second half.</li>

<p>Quotes from attendees include:</p>
<ul>
<li>&lsquo;An unusually interesting speaker and topic that attracted a diverse and engaged audience.&rsquo;</li>
<li>&lsquo;Great host and atmosphere.&rsquo;</li>
<li>&lsquo;Firstly, an outstanding speaker, showcasing an incredible career in Aviation. The venue was centrally located and comfortable, and the VHR team were friendly and welcoming. My only disappointment was having to leave immediately after the speech to catch a train. Well done VHR!&rsquo;</li>

In addition to the money raised by each of our team members, VHR are sponsoring each of our employees &pound;25 to run in the I Move London Relay race.</p>

<h2>VHR&rsquo;s Divisional Director and Automotive Recruitment Specialist Conor McKeon discusses the Automotive skills shortage at the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autonomousvehicletechnologyworldexpo.com/en/index.php">Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo</a> in Stuttgart.<img src="https://blog.v-hr.com/hubfs/conor.png" alt="conor" width="500"></h2>
<p>As new research reveals that 8million autonomous vehicles will be delivered by 2025, the Automotive sector is experiencing increased demand for skilled engineers and technicians. In the past year VHR&rsquo;s F1 &amp; Automotive recruitment team have delivered a variety of Autonomous Vehicles manufacturing projects, placing engineering candidates from senior management to manufacture and supply into leading global Motorsport businesses and Automotive start-ups.</p>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s Divisional Director &ndash; Motorsport and Engineering Conor McKeon, who possesses over a decade of Automotive &amp; Motorsport recruitment expertise, is interviewed at the Autonomous Vehicle Technology World Expo to discuss international staffing challenges. Conor outlines how a lack of awareness is causing a global Automotive skills shortage, which is particularly affecting the Autonomous Vehicles sector:</p>
<p>&lsquo;There is a universal engineering skills shortage. The engineering sector isn&rsquo;t perceived as exciting as it once was: the &lsquo;cool&rsquo; factor needs to appeal to the younger generation. VHR regularly attend trade shows like the Autonomous Vehicle Technology World Expo all around the world to talk to people and match their skill sets to the needs of our clients.&rsquo;</p>
<p>See Conor&rsquo;s full interview&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autonomousvehicletechnologyworldexpo.com/en/show-news.php?release=a9365bd906e11324065c35be476beb0c">here</a>.</p>

<p>In Q4 2017, 22% of UK engineering businesses and 42% of Aerospace &amp; Aviation business leaders named technical skills shortages as their primary business challenge, and the rest of the world are also experiencing urgent engineering skills shortages.&nbsp;<a href="http://v-hr.com/about-us/">VHR are passionate</a>&nbsp;about our industries and the people with whom we work</p>

<h5>Laureus&rsquo;s first Patron was revolutionary activist and&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela"><u>former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela</u></a>. At the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards in 2000, President Mandela commented: &ldquo;Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.&nbsp; Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.&nbsp; It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.&rdquo; Nelson Mandela&rsquo;s speech has become the philosophy of Laureus and the driving belief behind all its charitable work.</h5>
<h5>Now in its 40<sup>th</sup> anniversary, the Cape Town Cycle Tour is the largest timed cycle race in the world with over 35,000 riders. The course distance of 109km climbs a 1.5Km vertical ascent around the Southern Cape peninsula.</h5>
