An award-winning recruitment business based in Chorley will be helping students at Parklands High School acquire the necessary skills to find employment.

“We’re excited to be working with a local school and giving back to the Chorley community!” says Fresh founder and managing director Laura Leyland, who was crowned ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the 2018 Sub36 Awards.

"Students who are not particularly academic, or who perhaps lack confidence, could be future entrepreneurs or business owners with the right support; not everyone has to work in an office and progress to management. Young people can be a success on their own terms by demonstrating drive, creativity and common sense.”

Now the partnership has been formalised, Laura will fulfil the Enterprise Advisor role together with her sister Emily, who is the talent and acquisition director at Fresh.

Last Friday, Fresh took part in Parklands’ annual careers fair, which was attended by the Mayor of Chorley Margaret Rees, her Consort Roy Lees and Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP.

"We’re delighted to welcome Fresh on board as Enterprise Advisors. Laura and Emily have fantastic insights to share around the skills employers want and need – having led major recruitment campaigns in multiple sectors across the county. Likewise, their own entrepreneurial story of building an award-winning business will no doubt be hugely inspiring to our students.”

They are ‘New Business’’ and ‘Innovation in Business’ finalists at this year’s Red Rose Awards.
