A Cardiff-based finance broker specialising in mortgages and independent financial advice has added new talent to the team through the Jobs Growth Wales + programme.
Ramsay and White has recently welcomed two permanent members of staff to their administrative team after JGW+ learners, Seren and Tate, showcased their hard work on placement with the company.
The additions are especially important for Head of Admin at Ramsay and White, Rachel Morley, who is a former JGW+ learner herself and who jumped at the opportunity to support learners beginning their career.
“We’re one of the fastest-growing finance companies in the UK,” Rachel explained, “and many years ago, JGW gave me my start in this industry. It’s a full-circle moment to now help others find their feet in finance.”
Seren and Tate have both been recruited as case managers to support Ramsay and White’s administrative hub – a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of client cases.
When asked what the company was looking for in potential candidates, Rachel said:
“We needed individuals who were willing to be proactive and motivated, and learn. Those qualities were essential because the work involves a lot of detailed processes.”
And it didn’t take long for Seren and Tate to impress their employer. Their determination and enthusiasm stood out, leading to the offer of permanent contracts. “[The transition] was seamless,” Rachel said. “They’re now fully up and running, managing their own cases and working directly with clients. All we needed to do was issue new permanent contracts.”
The impact of the two new team members has been significant. “[Seren and Tate] have brought stability and growth to the business and have truly become part of the team,” Rachel added.
For Ramsay and White, the decision to take on learners through Jobs Growth Wales+ has been a resounding success. Talking about the importance of providing opportunities for learners, Rachel commented: “Everyone starts somewhere. Why not give a chance to someone who’s eager to learn and ready to start their career path?”
Further to this, Rachel encourages other businesses to consider bringing learners or apprentices on board. “100%—give it a go,” she said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for businesses and learners alike. Not only can it help a business grow, but it also gives learners the chance to begin building their future.”
For learners, Jobs Growth Wales+ offers a pathway to develop skills and gain valuable work experience. For employers, it can be the key to unlocking future talent within your sector.
