Blair West boardroom meeting

High-performance culture

At Blair West, we believe in empowering our employees, trusting and supporting them to deliver desired outcomes and recognising them when they do great work.

We breed a high-performing culture that champions collaboration and a stronger together mentality. We don’t get bogged down in the number of calls a consultant makes daily. Instead, we focus on performance and outputs, monitoring productivity in a unique way that allows freedom and autonomy for consultants to keep raising the bar.

Still a youthful, scaling organisation, our founders and leadership teams work shoulder to shoulder with employees enabling them access to their network and experience.

Reward and recognition

We’re confident our commission structure is one of, if not the best around. And see this as an obvious but essential reward that emphasises our commitment to recognising high performance.

Not only do we reward for a job well done, but our baseline salaries are competitive, and we offer rewards for consistently high productivity.

We play to win, and when we win, we celebrate. Our founders have committed to a quarterly payment into a celebratory pot for the team when targets are reached, and we celebrate quarterly with team socials.

Work & environment

Our culture encourages individuals to manage their own time and be proud of their work. We offer flexible working and the resources to work from home or anywhere they see fit. We focus on outputs, not hours spent at the desk and call stats.

We also have brand new, fully refurbished office space in the centre of Newcastle Upon-Tyne, fitted with hot desks and digital meeting pods for hybrid working. The culture is echoed in our environment, and our team maintains a high standard of work whilst still having a good time with colleagues. We supply fresh fruit, great coffee, a break-out area with a pool table, and no strict dress code.

Additional benefits

On top of our rewards and recognition promises, we offer additional benefits:

  • • 25-days holidays.
  • • A subscription to a well-being app of your choice.
  • • Two additional days leave to pursue an area of personal development or interest with a £150 contribution toward the cost.
  • • Maternity/Paternity Leave | Three months fully paid and three months at 50% (adjusted to take account of average commissions) subject to completion of probationary period.
  • • Three additional days leave for Corporate Social Responsibility.
  • • Access to a Company Car Scheme (Co-Wheels)
  • • We also offer salary sacrifice on corporate travel passes, including Nexus’ ‘Pop card’ to ease our staffs travel to work.

Jason Hogg

“The commission scheme here is very generous, but not just that you’re surrounded by brilliant people, and you’re able to learn from senior members of staff. David and Simon are always around and open to giving advice and support. It’s a healthy environment to learn and improve, especially for someone like me with a million questions.”

Harriet Mak

“The atmosphere here is excellent. Everyone is driven and like-minded, and I think it helps that David and Simon are ambitious with what they want Blair West to achieve, which drives us all forward. You also have access to roles and clients working in PE-backed environments, which is a unique and exciting opportunity.”

Matthew Houghton

“There is a great balance of trust and support from the management in how we work and how productivity is monitored. I think it ensures everyone is singing off the same hymn sheet and leads to the atmosphere we have throughout the business.”
