JAMES TILLEY BUILDING A HOSPITAL IN JUST TWO MONTHS

James used his expertise in supply chain and operations to help build a Nightingale hospital for Devon and Cornwall in less than two months. He describes it as an incredible experience. And that’s just one of the projects that made his first 18 months with us so rewarding. If you bring your career to Newton, you’ll also have the chance to tackle some truly life-enhancing challenges.

FOCUS ON DELIVERY

Delivery here isn’t just about seeing a project through to the end. It’s about finding new opportunities to deliver exceptional results for our clients. James sees this as a key differentiator – especially as everyone in the team has the chance to contribute.

James

“The core essence of what we do is implementation. We make sure our solutions really work. There’s an opportunity for all of our team members to make things happen with their clients – which is a really exciting proposition.”

– James

QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS

How are you empowered to deliver results?

James

“The quality of Head Office support is a big part of it. From the secretarial services to the responsiveness of our commercial and legal teams through to a world-class recruitment process for our graduates, it’s all surpassed my expectations.”

– James

How would you describe the team spirit?

James

“It’s something I experience every single day, from the beginning of our business development activities and the sales process all the way to the ongoing delivery of a project. We work together to deliver the very best outcomes.”

– James

BALANCING WORK AND HOME

We pride ourselves on helping people at every level to get the most out of life with Newton, whilst also enabling them to live their lives to the full outside of work.

 

 

 

 

POWERING YOUR PROGRESSION

By keeping in close contact with our teams, we’re able to see what support and opportunities people need to fulfil their true potential.

James

“We check in with every member of the team every two weeks. So if they feel too stretched, or not stretched enough, we can react to that very quickly. It ensures we know when someone might need extra support, or when they’re ready to progress.”

– James

SUPPORTING CLIENTS SIDE BY SIDE

James relishes getting to know his clients. By spending time with people at different levels and in a range of environments, he’s able to build the kind of well-rounded understanding that underpins the best solutions.

James

“Because we get to know our clients inside out at all levels, we’re able to implement solutions we know will work. We’re not implementing ideas that have been formed several layers above in a very siloed way.”

– James

EXPERIENCE LIFE ON CLIENT SITE

For James, spending time out on client site makes all the difference. Experiencing the environment in which a solution will be implemented helps to shape the overarching strategy and direction.

James

“You might be in a hospital seeing what the clinicians are doing, in a manufacturing facility or in a warehouse, or making drawings or specifications diagrams within a technical department. All of it helps to guide the ideas and solutions you generate.”

– James

SHARING EXPERIENCES WITH THE WHOLE COMPANY

Whatever your interests and passions, Newton offers plenty of opportunities for colleagues to work together and make an impact beyond their immediate client projects, whether that’s through knowledge sharing, all-company initiatives or advancing a cause that has a personal significance.
 

Review days

Our fortnightly review days are a brilliant opportunity not only for our people to connect with each other, but also to share ideas, bring fresh perspectives and collectively tackle the most complex challenges in an open, relaxed environment.

 

 

 

 

 

Inclusion and giving back

We have a number of employee resource groups designed to foster a diverse, inclusive working environment. There are also great opportunities to give back through the Newton Foundation – our people have been involved in everything from fundraising efforts for Alzheimer’s to mentoring students from underprivileged backgrounds to supporting programmes to tackle homelessness in the UK.

James

“People at all levels interact freely. And we get a lot of time and opportunity to build relationships with our colleagues, from our activity days across the entire company through to the off-site leadership events.”

– James
