| 0:01.1 | We're busier than ever, but struggling to get the staff we need. Recruiting can be such a distraction. We gave Job Centre Plus a try, and they've really helped us out. Really? Yeah. It was dead easy. We got our own employer advisor, Julie, who helped advertise our jobs, shortlisted candidates for us and letters interview at the Job Centre. We've hired some great people, and Job Centre Plus really took the hassle out of it, And there was no fee. |
| 0:22.7 | Brilliant. That's straight on my to-do list. you at the Job Centre. We've hired some great people and Job Centre Plus really took the hassle |

| 0:56.5 | group that has for the last 18 months been going through the 12 step ACA yellow workbook, |

| 2:07.5 | going to get you might get some fuddy dutty there's no damn fuddy dutty on the ship so you're you're |
| 2:11.3 | you know you're kind of getting to work with people that you kind of have something |
| 2:16.2 | additionally in common with, right? |
| 2:18.8 | Like I think that there's something that we all have in common if you are a fan of my |
