9 Recruitment Agency Scaling Mistakes & the Rebuild to £279K Per Head with Tom Kelly
05/10/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
In this episode, I sit down with Tom Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Evona, the specialist space industry recruitment firm.
Tom shares the nine mistakes that came from scaling on headcount to a peak of 68 people, and how the business rebuilt around output to reach £279K NFI per head.
We dive into the 180 LinkedIn seats Evona never needed, Tom moving to the US unpaid and being handed the CEO role a month later, and the P25 output measure that now runs the business.

Building a US Desk From Zero to $2M: Lessons From the Trenches with Fred Forrest
28/09/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
In this episode, I sit down with Fred Forrest, co-founder of Sourcechange. He left a comfortable seat at Pangea, got investment from day one, and built a US energy recruitment business from a box room in Aldgate East to past $2M in year three, with no clients and no track record in the market when he started.
We get into the tactical mistakes that made year one even harder, how Fred turned a tiny opening into Sourcechange's biggest client, and why he believes AI is only half the bet without a ferocious sales culture behind it.
