Anne Corder Recruitment consultant Nel Woolcott is set to discover what it's like on the other side of the desk after a decade of placing temps at companies across the region.She is taking on the role of one of the independent agency’s most experienced temps to mark National Temporary Workers’ Week next week.
Nel, who leads the temp team at Anne Corder Recruitment (ACR), will be swapping her desk at the agency’s Park Road office for the workstation of Vivien Jean-Paul on Tuesday, June 2.
Vivien has been working in the Management Suite at Edith Cavell Hospital as a temp since February 2009, and will be enjoying a paid day off.
Nel volunteered for the day’s work as a way of saying thank-you for the essential role performed by Vivien and the hundred-plus temps ACR places every week in businesses in and around Peterborough.
National Temporary Workers’ Week is organised by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) in recognition of the contribution temps make to industry. Every week about 1.2 million temps are used by companies across every sector and industry, worth 24 billion to Gross Domestic Product.
Get all shook up at fund-raiser
Elvis tribute artist Sal Bashir will be the main attraction on Friday, June 12, when businesses from across the county raise funds for Peterborough-based Deafblind UK at a Rock ‘n’ Roll Summer Ball.
The event, organised by Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce, will raise much-needed cash for the Hampton-based organisation, which offers specialist services and support to deafblind people and those who have progressive sight and hearing loss.
This year’s ball, to be held at the Marriott Hotel, in Huntingdon, will be a more up-tempo occasion than in recent years, with “Elvis” on hand to don his black leather jacket and blue suede shoes to get everyone in the mood to party and give generously in a charity raffle.
Award-winning Sal is one of the most popular Elvis tribute acts in the country, having performed in front of more than 10 million viewers of BBC’s Test the Nation and The World’s Greatest Elvis in 2008.
He consistently pulls in the crowds at Spiceland, the Indian buffet restaurant in Sawtry, near Peterborough, where the monthly Elvis theme nights are a regular sell-out.
