Juice Personnel are an independent recruitment agency based in Wakefield. We were founded in 2003 in Huddersfield with the knowledge that things could be done differently. This led us to adopt what we called our ‘refreshingly different’ approach. This radical new approach to recruitment was based around our core values of mutual understanding, honesty, integrity and quality.
From day one we had a policy to constantly review how we worked. Because of this dedication to self-improvement and our refreshing, personal approach to recruitment we saw a client and candidate loyalty that we’ve never experienced before and quickly outgrew our small office.
Skip forward a few years and we still hold fast to the same morals we started with: mutual understanding, honesty, integrity and quality. Because of our unwavering dedication to client and candidate satisfaction Juice Personnel are now seen as one of the leading independent recruiters in Wakefield.
We are also working towards Net Zero in 2030.
Director, Kelly Smith:
“Juice Personnel has been part of the Wakefield Business Community since 2003 and has worked with 100’s of different types of businesses both from supplier and customer perspectives but since Claire Sutherley joined We are Wakefield, I personally don’t think there has ever been any kind of business community like it. Juice has benefitted from it’s membership in more than a number of ways; we’ve met new clients, new suppliers, won awards, sponsored events and more importantly, developed some genuine relationships with other local businesses which we know will flourish over time and create more and more opportunities.”
“Juice Personnel chose to be an Ambassador for We Are Wakefield back in 2023 as we genuinely believe that our business can support others, and that we can support our local business community all the while, strengthening our position within the local market too. This has paid dividends over the last 12 months with Juice being able to support many WAW members with their own recruitment needs and furthermore to this, we’ve made genuine partnerships with new clients, built on trust and mutual respect from signing up to the scheme. We knew as soon as we heard about the Ambassador scheme that we wanted to be a part of it and we’re excited for the next 12 months will bring’’
Juice Personnel excel in working with commercial, construction and logistic based roles and have consultants who are experts within these industries. From office junior to director level roles, the team at Juice Personnel can assist any business from any industry in finding their next team member.

Solupak are manufacturers and innovators in water soluble systems. Through local warehousing and distribution they maintain low carbon manufacturing in the UK. On-site blending of powders and in-house built sachet production machinery gives customers high speed output. They focus on ensuring that throughout all manufacturing, testing, formulation and packaging processes they maintain a small carbon footprint (using recyclable packaging and re-usable bottles), whilst producing a product which is cruelty free. The user has a low risk of chemical contact, minimal manual handling and easy to use cleaning products. Both the sachet and dilution colour is coded to BICSc. Because it is super concentrated, there is no added costs for shipping water around the country and very little space is required for storage.
The journey of soluCLEAN is one of many twists; 8 years ago the words ‘sustainability’ and ‘eco’ were treated with much less vigour and importance as they are now. soluCLEAN was the first single use plastic free cleaning brand In the commercial cleaning sector… the market place today compared to that of 8 years ago has progressed to having the environment at the forefront. The SoluCLEAN range is an eco-friendly and easy to use range of pre-dosed, concentrated surface cleaning products, encapsulated in fully water-soluble sachets. Covering virtually every aspect of the everyday cleaning needs for today’s demanding professional, saving money, time and waste without compromising on high standards of cleanliness and infection prevention.
“The past 12 months of membership for Solupak have provided us with endless opportunities to put us on the map, throughout Wakefield and beyond. As a company that supplies businesses all over the UK, as well as worldwide, we underestimated the positive impact working with our local business community could have. Becoming part of the ambassador’s club was an easy decision as the return on investment has already been proven but also extended our commitment to be active and engage to benefit not just ourselves but our fellow members. As a full team the value of continuing and further extending our involvement in WAW was agreed and look forward to attending the many superb events on offer.” Helen McDonald, Managing Director.
Thornton Jones Solicitors were formed in Wakefield in 2007 by Clare Thornton and Claire Jones. At that time, they specialised in Family Law but soon expanded to become a “full service” firm which means they now offer services for all the needs of your family and business.
Their growth truly took off after Claire Jones retired and Clare Thornton took on two new partners – Liz Fyfe and Steven Eldridge. Together they put in place a rapid growth plan which involved relocating their Head Office to Bank House on Burton Street in Wakefield and quickly opened their first branch office in Ossett. Their rapid growth continued with the opening of additional offices in Garforth, Sherburn-In-Elmet and Mapplewell.
Clare says: “We are so proud of our team of people who all live by our values – A Passion for Excellence, Professional Integrity, Trust and Respect, Supporting and Valuing Everyone, Standing out from the Crowd, and Community and Sustainability. These values were created by our team and have been used to help us ensure we can provide the best service to our clients and to make TJ a really great place to work. Our values also underpinned our win at the Yorkshire Legal Awards in October 2022 when we became law firm of the year!”
Clare signed Thornton Jones up as a member of We Are Wakefield in March 2022 when she met WAW managing Director, Claire Sutherley. She quickly became a board member having seen how fabulous the concept was and has attended every first Friday event since!
Clare went on to say, “We chose to become Ambassadors because we absolutely believe in the power of local businesses working together to help and support each other. We are proud to be involved with We are Wakefield and its continued growth and success, and I hope our Ambassador level membership reflects our commitment in continuing to support the fabulous work Claire Sutherley and the Board are doing to build local strength and partnerships for all our businesses.”

This meant business now had to adapt their internal systems, for companies to operate not only efficiently but more importantly effectively.
This is the reason why McManus Consulting was formed, to be a truly independent technology workplace service provider. Our mission is to be the most customer focused technology provider in the UK, who offer unparalleled service to their clients.
