To give you a bit of background, WOB UK is a company in its own right and WOB Australia is a majority shareholder. In just five years it has gone from strength to strength as the homepage metric ‘5 Success Stories per week in 2016’ shows. This is due to the enormous efforts put in by the principals, Rowena Ironside (an expat Aussie), Fiona Hathorn and Rachel Tranter. They have been brilliant partners to Claire and I over the years and we thank them for their effort and commitment.
In summary, the WOB UK performance for the five years as at September 2017 is:
- Success Stories - 850 logged
- 1-on-1 support - 1,500 in total, average 30 per month
- Vacancies posted - approaching 10,500
