Who are we?

Meet the team

Richard Fletcher

Richard set up the business with Tom in 2012. Before this, he was a leader at one of the biggest recruitment firms, before moving into leadership roles in online recruitment to keep up with an ever changing industry. He is focussed on continuing Agenda Partnership’s year on year growth and bringing the best talent to the business.

He is a dad, a guitarist, a slave to an old Volkswagen, and getting into Gin!

Tom Bedford

Tom is our other partner who has worked in recruitment for almost all of his career. He spends his time working with our premier clients to give them the best possible service and developing our teams through excellent hands-on training.

Tom is a die-hard Manchester United supporter and spends most of his time chasing around after his 2 young daughters.

Jo Enderby

Jo is another ‘lifer’ having worked in recruitment for 20 years. She has managed teams in both the UK and Australia. She brings real energy and tenacity to her work and has an exceptional ‘hit rate’ in finding the right people for the briefs she accepts from her clients.

Jo enjoys the outdoor life, if the sun is out you’ll either find her either on the tennis court or enjoying a nice gin and tonic and if not, at the gym or again enjoying a nice gin and tonic! She is currently training to take on the National 3 Peaks Charity Challenge in September 2022.

Values

Our company grows and thrives upon a strong set of values that run through everything we do.

We all believe in these values and each and every member of our team is empowered to challenge every other team member who they feel is not demonstrating these values at any time.

Integrity: We are honest, open, ethical, and fair. People trust us to adhere to our word.

Diversity: We know it takes people with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds to make our company succeed. We encourage healthy debate and differences of opinion.

Accountability: If it is to be, it’s up to me

Continually Improving: Acting with courage, challenging the status quo and finding new ways to grow our company and each other.

Excellence: We will always do our very best, and continue to thrive on an attitude of winning.

Work for us

We are so proud to be continuing to grow!

We have grown every year since our founding in 2012. We work across multi-disciplines; recruitment, training, and interim support.

We know that our continued growth only happens by having the best possible team in place. As such, we are still looking for the best people to join our team.

Ideally, candidates will come from either recruitment or a background of selling training services.

For people who join the Agenda Partnership family, we offer excellent levels of autonomy, development, support and responsibility. We set very clear goals (with you, not for you) and then support you to deliver them. We recognise success with a great rewards package including vouchers, holidays, and what we believe is the best commission scheme in the industry.

Why not give us a call and see how you could become part of the team?
