Recruitment consultants welcome over 30 firms to employment seminar

Consultancy firm The Recruitment Duo welcomed over 30 local business professionals to a successful HR and employment law seminar.

The event was held at Cranmore Park and brought together business owners, HR professionals and local employers for a morning of valuable insights, practical advice and networking, helping businesses prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead in 2027.

Daniel Da Silva the CEO of HCB Solicitors, led an engaging and informative presentation, exploring current and forthcoming employment legislation change.

He provided a key break down on what the developments mean for employers, providing clear reasonable steps to help businesses prepare, remain compliant and confidently navigate the changing employment landscape whilst ensuring regular reinforcement of workplace standards.

Chris Seery from Campden Financial also delivered a session on employee financial wellbeing, highlighting the reality of relying on Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and the financial pressures this can place on working families.

With an estimated 1.3 million additional workers becoming eligible for SSP under employment reforms, Chris encouraged employers to consider the value of financial education and access to protection options as part of their wider employee wellbeing offering.

Louise Dunn, co-founder of The Recruitment Duo and vice president of the Solihull Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee, also took the opportunity to reflect on the significant role Chamber membership has played in the company's journey.

Louise said: "Being part of the Solihull Chamber of Commerce has been absolutely pivotal to the growth and success of The Recruitment Duo.

“The connections, opportunities and community support we've gained since beginning our membership in 2022 have been invaluable.

“As vice president of the Executive Committee, I'm incredibly passionate about championing our local business community and encouraging businesses to make the most of everything the Chamber has to offer.

“Events like this demonstrate the power of bringing people together, sharing knowledge and helping businesses feel informed and prepared for what's ahead."
