As he leads the Chamber Patron business, Paul says it will contribute to “the realisation of a vibrant economy that generates employment opportunities and enhances residents' overall quality of life”.

Working in recruitment, Paul predicts that 2024 will be a year in which the Black Country region flourishes, “creating additional avenues for its people, companies, and startups”.

The Black Country Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the companies looking forward to building success in the next 12 months. Through Ready for 2024, we are speaking members who are ready to deliver on their exciting plans.

Each day we are featuring member firms, ranging from start-ups to large companies, on the Chamber website and social media channels to share their opinions on the opportunities for the taking during the next year.

What will your company be focussing upon in 2024?

In the coming year, Starting Point Recruitment has ambitious plans to expand into Birmingham with new offices. We plan to launch new products to improve the job hunting experience in the region and grow our own team to deliver recruitment to more amazing Black Country businesses.

What are your hopes for the Black Country economy and its businesses in 2024?

Our vision for the Black Country economy in 2024 is centred on fostering diversity, innovation, and sustainability. We aspire to contribute to the realisation of a vibrant economy that generates employment opportunities and enhances residents' overall quality of life. Starting Point Recruitment is pivotal in identifying and recruiting untapped potential critical for the region's growth in the coming year.

Why will the Black Country be a great place to do business in the 12 months ahead?

The Black Country boasts substantial potential and growth opportunities, evidenced by a notable 80% rise in employment over the last three years. With its diverse population and the influx of new businesses, we anticipate the region flourishing in the coming year, creating additional avenues for its people, companies, and startups.

What will you use your Chamber membership for in the year ahead?

At Starting Point Recruitment, we view our Chamber membership as a strategic asset. Focused on networking and pursuing new business opportunities. We aim to leverage this membership to match businesses with our exceptional talent in the region.

What do you hope will happen for the UK economy as a whole?

We anticipate a continued modest GDP growth. Businesses in the coming year may face critical decisions due to sustained inflation growth. Recruitment will continue to be problematic for many hospitality, retail, and manufacturing businesses, hampering growth in these areas.

What does your company do?

We have over two decades of history partnering with companies across the Black Country to hire the best talent they need. We offer both permanent and temporary recruitment across a wide range of sectors. With offices in Walsall at the heart of the region, we facilitate connections between exceptional, hard-working talent and some of the most exciting companies and organisations in the area.
