Newcastle Regional Meet Up - Strategy, BD, and the 2026 Market Opportunity: Engineering Growth

As recruitment leaders navigate unprecedented change: new employment legislation, shifting market dynamics, and the need to do more with smarter operations, you need a framework that actually works. One that connects market insight, strategic clarity, and executable action into a single motion.

At this exclusive in-person Newcastle meet up, co-hosted by TRN and the REC, we're bringing together the thinking, data, and peer intelligence you need to build real momentum this year.

TRN’s James Osborne and REC’s Neil Carberry will lead a working session where industry insight meets practical strategy. This is where you'll discover what's actually working, test your ideas against real challenges, and leave with a clear action plan.

What we’ll cover:

The market opportunity in 2026 – Latest REC data, labour market insight, and where the real growth plays are

Policy and regulation decoded – The Employment Rights Act and what it means for your operating model

The operating model question – How top agencies are restructuring BD, sales, and delivery to create momentum, not just activity

From insight to action – How to turn strategy into repeatable playbooks your team can execute

You'll share challenges, test ideas against the room, and walk out with actions you can implement immediately.
