It's our first guest episode of 2026 and the closest thing we've had to Stephen Bartlett so far.. (Inside joke, you will pick up on that when you listen)....

Guest number 1 of the year is Jonny Woodhead - Customer Success Manager at XCD...

To give you the spiel on XCD they are an all-in-one single-solution HR and Payroll software which helps put you back in control and achieve more.Built for businesses of over 250 employees who are experiencing business growth or transformation.

In this episode we had a Giig It A Rest first where we played a game of...

'Is the guest related to Andy's Ex Girlfriend'

As well as:

- Drumming

- Leeds

- Politics

- All things customer success

- A bit of recruitment

&

Who he would take with him to live for 5 years on a desert island..

It's back to reality now, the Christmas Sillies have ended, the mince pies have been put away and we're back to the grind...

Now for those of you who listen regularly, you will know that I'm always honest with you and I want to be honest in saying that this weeks episode of the pod feels a little flat...

It could be the fact we were dusting off the brambles from Christmas, it could also be the fact that I had some bad news after the surgery that I had just before Christmas...

Hopefully you will still enjoy it though.. There are a couple of highlights including:

- The Sturgess Family's Secret Santa

- Andy's New Frog Mate

- Our Ambitions for 2026

- A Couple of Morbid Lee's Lunchbox Questions

After a solid Christmas special (if I do say so myself) with the chaps from KOSI we thought we'd get the Giig collective together for one final round up before the year draws to a close...

This final episode of 2025 is mainly the three of us exchanging gifts and having a look back at what 2025 has been like for the 3 of us.. Obviously there's still a Lee's Lunchbox in there as well...

We're going to be taking a bit of a break over Christmas but will be back up and running again on the 7th of Jan 2026...

Merry Giigmas everyone!!!

Love Tiny Tim

IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

It's closing in on us now..!

People are shutting down their laptops, ready for good old Santa to drop in with some festive joy...

So we thought...

We'd bring you some festive joy with a Christmas Colab with the guys from KOSI..

We trekked over to Wales to with Si and spent the morning sitting in Kate's front room, talking waffle and having a beer...

Hopefully there's a few laughs in here that will put a smile on your face and there is a killer Christmas Quiz in here (if I say so myself) - that exposes some of the goings on in our team WhatsApp chat...

Merry Christmas x

After a firecracker of a week with Sean, we've back to the duo on the sofa.. By the way if you have not listened to the last episode, go back and give it a go!

It's worth your time!

Now that we're in the swing of the winter months there's been some cold and flu in the camp, so this week kicks off with Andy's tale of struggle and strife with Man flu!

Around that we also talk about:

- My Pre-Operation assessment meeting

- Andy's Ninja Warrior day out

- How a couple of teenagers made a 30 year old man uncomfortable

- Granny Seaside's new AI headphones

- Who's winning at the bed test

- A Lee's Lunchbox question that involves a straw

This episode is a firecracker.... Not sure what that word means but I am running with it!!

Sean the TA guy, he's an Agency Recruiter, Turned Internal Recruiter, Turned TikTok phenomenon... He came in very strong, so word of warning this episode starts quick...

He hit us with a gift of matching T's as soon as we sat down, so the first 5 minutes of this pod is a lot of faffing and laughing and there's not a lot of speaking....

Anyway, this episode was a belter, quick word of warning, there's a few edgy stories in here so we have had to take out a few names but on the whole this episode was a good laugh from start to finish...It was a pleasure to interview the 'Recruitment Industries Joe Wilkinson'

It's been a whole year of Giig It A Rest!!!

In classic us fashion, we didn't even realise it and didn't even bring it up... The pair of us were back together as the first time as a pair for a while and discussed:

- That awkward wine tasting moment

- The weirdest Christmas present

- Frozen Nappies

- Our latest feature updates

- Me being on a panel

- Our first Lee's Lunchbox question from a listener

I have so much respect for anyone who can build a successful recruitment business and Ruth is an incredible example of someone who's not only started a recruitment business but made it stick for 15 years...

Launching Wagstaff from a home office as a Solo through to building her business into a small team focused on recruiting into engineering & manufacturing it's a genuine story of how hard it can be to be a small business owner..

Around her story there's also so obvious highlights/take aways to listen out for..

Otto the dog plays a big part and kind of steals the show, along with Percy Pig... I won't reveal all but there is a Percy Pig theme in this episode...

Ruth's connection with Percy Pig runs way deeper than I first expected!!
