‘Recycle and Grow’ has hired 200 young unemployed people since its founding in Autumn 2009. The company, based in Northamptonshire, has been able to recruit as a result of its participation in the government’s Future Jobs Fund, an initiative designed to create some 170 000 jobs amongst 18-24 year olds who have been unemployed for up to 12 months.
