Two iconic brands, one iconic colourway! 📒 We've worked with Selfridges to bring back the Yellow Pages for a limited 3-month run. The “Directory of Now” showcases the best in food, fashion, art and more in Selfridges London, Manchester, and Birmingham. Our Co-CEO Luke Taylor has said, “We can’t think of a better brand to look back to our origins with than Selfridges. Both of us have been a constant in British life for decades, focused on offering the very best to our customers” 💛 It’s been a pleasure working with Selfridges on this limited run. Don’t forget to grab a copy of the “Directory of Now” from Selfridges for your fix of culture, and to #JustYell to connect with local businesses, for whatever you need!

Did you know there are 54 million searches each year on Google around Jargon Translations? 🔍 Our new study analysed thousands of words, phrases and acronyms to discover which job-focused jargon confuses us the most. The study also analysed which specific terms and phrases prove the hardest for us to understand. ✍ Mark Clisby, our Co-CEO commented: “Jargon is everywhere in our daily lives, whether you’re buying a house, investing savings or trying to make sense of the current political landscape. Jargon clearly plays an important role in communication across almost all industries, however, overuse of it can make people disconnect from what you’re trying to say, especially if they’re not knowledgeable about the industry." To help, we've produced a guide to help you clarify what the most searched jargon terms mean.
Pride is a chance to recognise the joy and struggles of the LGBT+ community and show the importance of acceptance and inclusion. As an employer, we strive to be a workplace where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work. As well as running all-colleague sessions learning about IDB, we're opening and encouraging social spaces where everyone can discuss their experiences, including our LGBT+ colleagues. Good to see Microsoft are supporting with steps like the new pronouns feature in Office 365 🙌 #LifeAtYell #PrideMonth #Inclusion
