Looks Good on Paper
#8 - Alex Shapland Howes - Is transport poverty stopping your business grow?
In this episode, I speak to Alex Shapland Howes, CEO and Co-founder of RideTandem.
Inspired by a group of dads in Rochdale, unable to get a job because they didn't have access to transport, Alex decided to build RideTandem.
Why does transport poverty have anything to do with recruitment? Well, have you struggled to hire for your warehouse or depot based on the M62...? Transport poverty is the reason why. They weren't built with talent mobility in mind, goods mobility!
The team at RideTandem have developed an amazing business.
They help people get jobs and stop businesses from losing 10's of thousands of pounds in downtime.
If you are struggling to find this type of talent, you have to listen to this podcast.
