Daily, the British public is being reminded that the NHS is in crisis. The most recent figures at the time of writing put the number of people on a waiting list for hospital treatment at 5.6 million. Many are expecting to wait 12 to 18 months to be seen, and whilst COVID-19 has had an impact, it has exacerbated an issue that already existed.

The issue of sustainability is in the spotlight like never before. 64% of respondents to a global survey carried out by the UN described climate change as an emergency; one that required decision-makers to step up on their ambitions. And with the UK due to host the COP26 summit in November, two thirds of the British public want the country to become a world leader on climate change.

We are currently experiencing a small business boom in the UK. The number of new small businesses registered in the third quarter of 2020 rose 30% compared with 2019 – the largest increase since 2012. On top of that, driven by the pandemic, e-commerce revenues across Europe jumped by 30% to a record $465B in 2021, a number which is expected to reach almost $570B by the end of 2025.

As the world transitions to green energy and renewables, businesses must now look at their hiring strategies to attract the green talent needed to drive the agenda on the road to net-zero.

One of the things that we most commonly associate with the world of startups is youth. When we think of startup founders, the classic image that comes to mind is of a twenty-something-year-old in Silicon Valley, dropping out of university to start the next big tech firm. Think Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, for example, who were 19 and 21 respectively when they started Facebook and Apple.
