Fancy a Cuppa?

We’re excited to announce that Join Talent is now an official partner across all of our awards programmes, communities and Ideas Fest 2025.

Founded by Great British Entrepreneur Awards winner Katrina Hutchinson-O’Neill, Join Talent brings something unique to the table. It is not just a recruitment company. It’s run by people who know first-hand what it means to build and scale a business. Katrina is building one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe and understands what it means to scale with ambition, juggle challenges and lead from the front.

That is exactly why this partnership makes so much sense. Join Talent gets what our community needs because they are part of it too.

At Ideas Fest 2025, they’ll be pouring something special into the mix. The Magic Teapot is a new space designed for music, connection and proper conversation, all over a never-ending supply of tea. It will also host ‘Spilling the Tea’, a series of phone-free, off-the-record discussions that promise bold opinions, honest moments and a few surprises along the way.

This is just the beginning. Join Talent will be supporting our wider events and awards throughout the year and bringing exclusive offers to our community. On average, businesses save 235% on recruitment with them and we’ll soon be sharing some incredible community success stories from this partnership.

If you’re hiring fast or planning big growth, we think this might just be your cup of tea.

We’re delighted to have them on board.

And if you haven’t got your Ideas Fest 2025 ticket yet, now’s the time. You won’t want to miss what’s brewing in The Magic Teapot - only at Ideas Fest.
