FINN’s Post

Just 2 brothers from Hull, lucky enough to run a group of companies. In 2014, on our cousin’s stag do in Latvia, my brother turned to me and asked me to join him in a new business venture. - We hatched something together. - And decided we’ll do some recruitment! - Despite having no blueprint. No plan. Nothing. (I’d never even worked in recruitment 😂) It’s no surprise that it didn’t all go the way we planned. But it was still a stepping stone. Which kicked off a rollercoaster of a journey for us. And today we’re: - Guiding businesses to success. - Building an ever-growing team. - Prioritising exceptional service. - Embracing the twists & turns. - Facing challenges head-on. - And a proud Dad & Uncle. It’s been a whirlwind watching it all unfold - especially during the tough times. Yet seeing the successes & reaching new heights makes each hurdle worth it. It’s so easy to stop at the first hurdle or give up when you start seeing results. We’re still 2 lads from Yorkshire. But I’ve learnt that it’s ok to fail, pivot and change. You’ve just got to keep pushing forward.

Employee spotlight! 🎊      Say hi to Samantha Ho from our GTM team! Samantha’s a veteran in the world of cross-border payments and FX, making her a valuable team member in terms of experience and knowledge of the space.    Here’s what she has to say about why she loves working at Wallex! 👇    "What I love most about Wallex is how much we embrace flexible work. We don't just talk about it, we actively encourage it!    It's allowed me to immerse myself in Thailand's cafe culture almost everyday. I can't express enough how amazing it is for me. Imagine the happy feeling of checking off a bucket list item, except that you get to experience that every other day!    As a result, I'm a much more positive person both outside and inside of work, and it's made me become more focused and solutions-driven, approaching every task with a can-do spirit. When I encounter obstacles, I don't think "Oh no!". I ask "How can I overcome this?".    The best part? My colleagues and boss still offer me the same guidance and support as though I am right beside them. Working remotely has not created any distance between me and my team!    Being at Wallex has shown me that it is possible to grow and excel in my chosen career path while maintaining a balance that affords me the opportunity to see the world, and to also stop and smell the roses!"     #Wallex #CompanyCulture #EmployeeSpotlight #EmployeeAppreciation 

My first interaction with Andile was exactly one year ago. A lot has changed in the past 12 months. Since the first time I walked into Andile’s office I have felt right at home. Andile exists to change markets, and the world, for the better. We have a culture to care, never give up, we are determined to grow, and to create. It is an honour and a privilege to interact and engage daily with outstanding professionals in the capital markets industry. Therefore this spring reminds me of how beautiful change truly can be.  #AndileSolutions #capitalmarkets

Business owners often ask me: "How do you pick the right team member? What qualities are you looking for?" It's a great question, and after some reflection, I realized the most important factor is actually quite simple: shared values. Sure, skills and experience are important, but at Enventure, we take a strategic approach to team building that goes beyond just a resume. We focus on three key pillars: ✅ Cultural Fit & Shared Values: We believe a strong company culture is the foundation for success. That's why we seek individuals who resonate with Enventure's values, fostering a collaborative and passionate environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute. ✅ Industry Expertise & Entrepreneurial Spirit: We value a blend of experience and drive. Our team members bring deep industry knowledge alongside the entrepreneurial spirit needed to identify and nurture high-growth companies. ✅ Shared Vision for the Future: We're all on the same journey – building a future where innovative healthcare technology empowers patients. We look for people who share this vision and are excited to contribute to making it a reality. But how do we translate this vision into a passionate and engaged team? It's all about clear communication, fostering a sense of ownership, and celebrating successes together. And to be honest that is my recipe for a successful team. #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #BuildingTeam #Investment #Teamwork #Culture #SharedVision

I can never forget the process that brewed the birth of SHORE teams... From a traditional development agency to an outstaffing business, It was a journey woven with necessity and opportunity,  Fueled by determination and innovation. In the early days,   Finding the right talent locally felt like chasing a mirage,  An endless quest for that elusive perfect fit.  Frustration brewed, but,  So did determination. We refused to settle for mediocrity when excellence beckoned from afar. When we reached out to a Dutch-Indian development agency,  We saw a beacon of expertise in a sea of uncertainty.  Their finesse in execution dazzled us,  Sparking a collaboration,  To alter our business. As discussions deepened, a tantalizing proposition emerged: ➡They handle the execution, we handle the sales ➡A symbiotic partnership destined for success Yet, the thought of tethering our fate to one agency initially unsettled us.  Diversity and resilience were the pillars of our aspirations.  So, we dared to dream bigger. Why limit ourselves to one partnership when the world is brimmed with potential? Thus, SHORE teams was born A platform bridging skilled developers with businesses across continents.  Our journey stretched to serve clients not just in the Netherlands,  But across Western Europe, the UK, the US, the Arab region, and beyond. The lesson learned? Opportunity doesn't always announce itself with fanfare;  Sometimes, it whispers its potential.  We realized that vigilance  and adaptability were  our compass  in navigating  the currents  of change. #idea #opportunity #outstaffing #developmentteams #partners #partnerships

It's Monday – back to work. While some people dread Mondays, I genuinely enjoy them. I love my job, so Mondays are a great start to the week. The best part of my job? The people I work with. I have fantastic colleagues and often meet individuals who are doing inspiring things to make the world a better place. Today was one of those days. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ray S. to learn more about his work with Kinvest Venture Partners. Truly inspiring. Here’s my key takeaway: I discovered the meaning behind the name "Kinvest," and I love it. If you follow my posts, you may remember me mentioning one of my heroes, Gregory Boyle, who frequently uses the word "kinship." This concept has deeply inspired me. It shifts the perspective from "us and them" to "we." Kinvest embodies this principle. They bring business capital into Rwanda to create companies that employ people, treat them with dignity, and work alongside them to build thriving businesses that they eventually become shareholders of. How amazing is that? Stay tuned for more insights from my conversation with Ray.

"Traveling it's part of the job" I told my wife in the beginning of the week. Thrilled by the potential this journey holds for #DpeR's growth, it reaffirms my belief that nothing beats the power of face-to-face interactions. As much as we pivot towards digital, video conference calls can never truly replace the deep-seated trust fostered in person. Because at the end of the day, business is a human endeavour, rooted in interactions that inspire mutual trust and understanding. Here's to forging relationships and building connections - the heart of every successful business venture. #OnTheMove #BusinessTravel #RelationshipBuilding
