“(As employees) I’m proud we’re able to offer taking your child to playgroup as the norm…..a fundamental issue for people in the city is childcare…its got to be worth you going back to work” Anna Smith
The Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Project would not be possible without the supporters behind it. This series takes time out to meet some of the wonderful Award Event Sponsors. In this episode Roni Edwards talks to Sarah Roads and Anna Smith, founders of The Middle Group about the importance of work life balance and making sure you’re paying attention to the correct child in their swimming lesson...
The Middle Group was formed by two experienced recruiters who started their own businesses in the Marine, Insurance, Financial Services and Pharmaceutical sectors, offering permanent, temporary and contract solutions to many clients around the UK. Their aim was to create a work/life balance that couldn't be gained by working in the 'normal' recruitment office environment.
Whilst running successful businesses since 2017 they have joined forces to create the Middle Group, offering recruiters the opportunity to run their own business with full autonomy supplying all the tools required to hit the ground running.

So we got all the friends together on the group chat and I said “(the police will find you)..just tell them, be honest and tell them what happened …. if you don’t tell anyone and you try and keep it hidden, you’ re going to be guilty..if you give yourself in, then you’ll still be guilty, but you’ll have the respect of knowing that you know that you messed up and you want to tell someone”…so that made them realise and they told their mum (Jack, 15 )
Pamodzi means together. We celebrate inspirational stories and collaborate with creatives to challenge, affirm and inspire. To mark #international mens day, our "Conversations With My Son" series celebrates the magic of family and leans into conversations around mental health and the impact of culture to our definition of family. Jack and his Mum Vicky talk about the importance of open lines of communication with each other and how opportunities of counselling gave them the tools to communicate more effectively with each other. For Jack especially, it has also given him the gift of empathy in supporting friends who are themselves struggling with their own mental health.
