James Fellowes

Founder

In 2018 I was made redundant for the fifth time in 8 years. It was then that I had an epiphany: to leave the corporate world to try and change the world! I co-founded Bridge of Hope Careers to create the missing link between ‘untapped talent’ and inclusive employers seeking to expand their talent pool. I'm a proud dad of three, unshakable optimist and an obsessive wild swimmer.

We have been looking for ways to connect with different talent pools, especially people who have been marginalised and left behind, so we are delighted to be partnering with Bridge of Hope Careers who are enabling us to reach ... diverse candidates who we would not have otherwise been able to meet and support into employment.

Stephanie Bishop, Emerging Careers Leader at The Direct Line Group

The team at Bridge of Hope Careers have shown an in-depth understanding of - and often personally experienced - the barriers faced by those we want to help, and it shows in the care that they take to ensure we can collectively help those who need it most.

Ted Blackwell, Project Lead at Springboard

Working with Bridge of Hope Careers has been a breath of fresh air! Having worked in recruitment supporting under-represented talent for the past five years, I’m glad to be a part of such a forward-thinking group of individuals and organisations.
