Season 5 | Ep 33 - Jamie Trevett & Tony Robbins on taking a huge risk during the pandemic to keep the business alive - and it worked!

The RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth Podcast

On this week's episode of The RAG Podcast, I was joined by Jamie & Tony, the founders of The Just Group, a specialist group of construction recruitment brands headquartered in Bromley, Kent with 24 staff which launched in 2012.

Jamie & Tony launched the business with a 3rd partner Alan, and up until the pandemic things were going great! However, Covid hit the business for six and they quickly dropped to 6 staff and had to re-evaluate everything.

In this episode they discuss how they:

• Dealt with the pandemic and questioned their business direction
• Parted ways with Alan, their business partner, due to a conflict
• Took out a huge loan to keep the business alive and support their people
• Went back into lockdown in Jan 2021, which brought huge fear and anxiety
• Changed the business completely and have grown to their biggest ever since this time
• Want to enjoy the journey and enjoy life whilst building the business sustainably

They’re great guys with a genuine story of ups and downs, I’m sure we can all relate to their journey!
