Developing your career: how do you fuel the journey?

Issue #2: Leading Through Uncertainty

While the Australian economy celebrates 25 years of avoiding recession, and the US is on the road to being "Great" again, back in the UK we have enjoyed a far more rollercoaster like existence as we try to pick our way through an ever-shifting landscape. We have seen the fall, the rise and the stagnation of household names in business and financial services, dogged by scandal (think accounting black holes, PPI and Libor), buoyed by success stories (think Fever Tree, Metro Bank and HedgerWay). Then, we voted for Brexit, they voted for Trump and now, back home the youth have mobilised and made themselves heard.

Issue #1 : Welcome to HedgerWay

We are a senior level financial recruiter. A newly formed business, born from over 35 years of experience, with ambitions to become the natural landing place for exceptional senior financial talent. We are launching against a backdrop of uncertainty, against a landscape dominated by Trump and his fake news, in the face of a constant dialogue of Post-Brexit Armageddon. Granted, we agreed to walk down this path while this all looked highly unlikely but we decided to pursue our dream and learned a few valuable lessons along the way.
