AN Island recruitment company won a photographic competition after staging a Mad Hatter’s tea party, to which all its temporary staff were invited.
Newport-based WP Recruitment got out the best china for a tea party and, so impressed was the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), the firm has won the annual National Temporary Workers Week photographic competition for the agency coming up with the most original event.
WP’s prize is a three-hour mentoring session from the REC.
WP also organised a temp of the month competition, staged an open day for people wanting to find out more about temporary work and also a Friday afternoon club, for when its temps bring in their timesheets.
The agency also raised money for its charity, the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
