Driving into a New Year with Oaklea!

“There’s a real openness for change, an appetite for growth and opportunities to build” Jenna Hall, CEO Oaklea Group

A New Year heralds new challenges…Luckily we have Oaklea North East LEGENDS Kendra and Nic in the driving seat!

But before we forge ahead into 2025…

What it’s all about…

We need to pull over…and pause for several thoughts…

It’s a timely opportunity to catch up with our CEO, Jenna Hall on what 2025 may bring

“I want to start by saying a HUGE thank you to each and every one of you who worked over the Christmas/New Year holiday periods. Be in no doubt, whether you were on call, did one shift or seventeen shifts, your work, flexibility and unwavering focus on our customers and their needs are the critically important parts of what makes us Oaklea. So, thank you.”

2025 – it’s about openness, team work and a year of opportunities:

2025 will be a year to get stuck in..

“There’s a real openness for change, an appetite for growth and I see opportunities to build and I’ve genuinely had the best first three weeks of any role (that’s thanks to you -the employees) and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.”

“2025 brings with it an opportunity to focus on and to celebrate our achievements (as well as those of our customers and learners) and to pull together to build on the valuable work completed to date. It’s my intention that we all take time to recognise the value we each bring to the team and to celebrate achievements, successes and more. I’ll be out and about visiting projects, meeting customers and learners and, of course, commissioners and funders. Wishing you a brilliant year ahead.”

Now we’re good to go – Let’s catch up with our driven duo

All routes lead to…

We left them heading down the A1 – why perchance? Well these County Durham adventurers took our CEO’s words literally! They have sought new opportunities and experiences. As you can see they ‘pottered around in that there London! Our Barnard Castle group have been on their own magical mystery tour with added wands a weaving!

Will the Rt Hon members please stand…

Oaklea’s Kendra even made a video of the trip – she and fellow Oaklea legends, Nic & Lauren are with Gemma, Amanda and Laura on the sightseeing visit to the capital. They had an open bus tour to see the sights then a trip to Harry Potter World…for a wizard of an experience!
