Concept Recruitment become primary sponsor of our Life and Times Autumn/Winter Newsletter

The Kirkwood is excited to announce that its upcoming Autumn/Winter 2024 newsletter, Life and Times, has been sponsored by Concept Recruitment Group, one of the UK’s fastest-growing employment companies. Concept Recruitment specialises in providing temporary, permanent, and contract workers to some of the UK’s leading businesses. This partnership marks a significant collaboration between a local business and a vital community organisation, ensuring that The Kirkwood can continue to deliver important updates to the people of Kirklees.

Each year, The Kirkwood produces two main newsletters, reaching over 20,000 people across the Kirklees area. These newsletters, which span either the autumn/winter or spring/summer periods, feature a range of stories, updates on services, events, fun facts, and branding messages that reinforce The Kirkwood’s mission. Through these newsletters, The Kirkwood reassures the community that it is there for all people currently living with life-limiting illnesses.

This autumn/winter edition is particularly special, thanks to the sponsorship from Concept Recruitment Group. The Leeds-based recruitment firm, founded in 2006, has grown from a one-branch operation to a market leader in the provision of temporary labour, placing over 4,000 candidates per day during peak times. Their company strapline is: “Making temporary staffing solutions, simple and effective” and that's just what they do.

As Concept Recruitment continues to expand its presence into Huddersfield and the surrounding areas, this partnership highlights their commitment to supporting the local community. 

Beverley Shaw, The Kirkwood's Business Development Manager, expressed her excitement about the collaboration, she said: "We’re thrilled to have Concept Recruitment as the primary sponsor of The Kirkwood's Life and Times Newsletter. It’s fantastic to be partnering with an established recruitment company that, whilst not exclusive, specialises in manufacturing and warehouse temp-to-perm roles industries with deep roots in the Kirklees area. Their support to us reflects their appreciation for the work hospices do and their commitment to supporting the local community. As they expand into Huddersfield and surrounding areas, they are not only seeking to raise their profile among those looking for quality temp-to-perm candidates but also to connect with individuals interested in registering with them as an agency. This partnership is a perfect example of reinvesting back into the local economy a value that both The Kirkwood and Concept Recruitment share deeply.”

The newsletter is an essential part of The Kirkwood’s communication strategy, providing an important platform for sharing patient stories, showcasing the organisation’s work, and connecting with the wider community. With Concept Recruitment's support, The Kirkwood can continue to share these inspiring stories and updates with the thousands of people across Kirklees who rely on the newsletter for information.

The Kirkwood’s Marketing Operations Manager Lucy Eccles also expressed gratitude for the partnership, she said: "We're thrilled to announce that Concept Recruitment is the main sponsor of The Kirkwood's Life and Times Newsletter, reaching over 20,000 people across Kirklees twice a year. This newsletter is a vital platform for sharing incredible patient stories, showcasing the true heart of what The Kirkwood and our movement stand for. This edition includes updates on upcoming events, campaigns, and a reflection on the fantastic summer we've had at The Kirkwood. With Concept Recruitment’s generous support, we can continue bringing these inspiring stories and essential information to our community.”

The partnership with Concept Recruitment allows The Kirkwood to continue to provide invaluable support and reassurance to the community. As the organisation continues to grow and evolve, partnerships like this one ensure that The Kirkwood’s services and stories will continue to reach the people who need them most.
