Renewed Talent

Submitted by talent on Mon, 07/09/2009 - 1:46pm

Talent would like to bring some clarity to the confusion we’ve noticed on the grapevine.

The last 12 months have seen much change in our business, with our founder, Jonathan Baldrey leaving us for new ventures outside the welfare to work industry and the 100% purchase of the organisation by Calder Holding. In addition, as some people will be aware, our Business Development Manager, Mukesh Oza and our Operations Director, Sarah Corrigan, have also moved on after long years of service to new ventures outside of welfare to work. We’d like to wish them both every success for the future.
