Working with Tempus Novo
Ian Harrison, Managing Director, Pennine Pneumatic Services:
“When Steve and Val from Tempus Novo approached me about taking on an ex-offender, I could see the benefits both from a commercial point of view, as it took the hassle out of going out and recruiting a new member of staff, and also because it offered us the opportunity to give something back to the community.
“Going on a prison visit with Steve was a real eye-opener, as I discovered that a lot of the reoffenders had come from broken families and needed a chance to break the cycle of crime. They left prison wanting to change, but as soon as employers found out that they had been in jail, they were turned down. It was a catch 22 situation – all they wanted was a second chance.
“Steve also showed me statistics that indicated that the aftermath of a crime costs on average £3,000. If you imagine how many crimes one person might commit over a year, then it has to be more cost effective to support initiatives like Tempus Novo, which help people back into work.
“Considering the good work that Steve and Val do through Tempus Novo, we are proud to be able to make our own small contribution to this invaluable project.”
Ian has since been on BBC Radio Leeds to talk about the benefits of working with Tempus Novo.
