LifeWorklife, an innovative Bristol-based online business service which matches employers and potential employees, has appointed IoD South West Chairman, Nick Sturge, as Non-Executive Director to steer the business through a period of rapid growth.
LifeWorklife is an online community for people looking for fulfilling flexible careers and for companies looking for a skilled, motivated workforce. The companyís client membership is increasing on average by 50% each month. The service differs from other online job boards in that the people who become members keep a space on LifeWorklife rather like a social networking site - but with employment as its central aim.
Kirsten Hemmingway, LifeWorklifeís managing director, says: ìWeíre very please that Nick has joined the team. We wanted someone who understands how high-tech leading edge companies operate and can help direct LifeWorklife through a period of rapid growth. He has great business experience, a fantastic network and understands the importance of balancing work and home life.î
Nick is a business consultant and Director of SETsquared, an organisation that helps early-stage, high-tech, high-growth potential ventures get on the road to success. He was appointed Chairman of the IoD, Bristol branch in January 2008.
Nick says: ìI relish the opportunity to work with such a bright young company whose product can help employers maintain a flexible workforce and people find flexible work. I am delighted to be on board. î
Individuals can maintain a list of potential employers or customers, while organisations can grow their list of potential employees or people who work for them on short-term contracts. Also, they may use this space to keep in touch with their independent resources.
Kirsten continues: ìAround 80% of our customers are organisations which demonstrates that online recruitment is both popular and necessary. Membership of LifeWorklife experiencing on average 50% growth each month. We need someone with Nickís experience to ensure our business keeps on developing in a way that enables us to meet our clientsí needs.î
