In the sixth episode of Business Noodles and Doodles, we talk to Sarah Knight, founder and managing director of Sarah West Recruitment in Exeter. Alongside this, she is also co-founder and director or Tribus People.

She also discusses current recruitment issues for many businesses and the importance of employer brand in helping to attract staff.

In the fifth episode of Business Noodles and Doodles, we talk to Giles Letheren, CEO of Delt Shared Services who chats about the challenges of running an independent organisation owned entirely by public sector bodies and how his training as a production manager in the entertainment business - working with the likes of Boyzone, East 17, Lee Evans and even the Chippendales - helps keep his projects on target.
