Case Study
Construction
Aspire Evolve was founded by Luke Melluish in the final months of 2020. After 5+ years working alongside various agencies across the construction market, it was accumulation of passion & experience coupled with a burning desire to run his own agency that led the timing being right for Luke to launch his own agency. Focussing across the blue & white-collar side of the construction market, this is his story.
Client Name: Luke Melluish
Company Name: Aspire Evolve LTD
Sector: Construction
Inception: 03 October 2020
Isotope Partnership: Equity
In some cases it’s not a matter of “if” an exceptional recruiter will successfully launch & develop their own agency, but “when”.
“When” will they start to feel professionally capable to make the leap; “when” will they feel that their new business skills are strong & consistent enough to build an agency upon; “when” will it feel like the right time personally for them to leave the shackles of employment & launch the agency they’d always thought about.
For Luke, the answer was the middle of 2020.
The construction market was on an upward trajectory, Luke had been toying with the idea of starting his own agency for years, & he felt he’d hit a little bit of a glass ceiling with his current employer. Given the ambitions of Luke, that made him feel a little stagnant; he’d never enjoyed the idea of “sitting still” in his career which was part of the reason he’d enjoyed such progression in his career to date.
Our conversations started with Luke in the middle of 2020 with what started as a detailed conversation one weekend exploring both what a successful business would look like to Luke & how the Isotope model could help create that for him. A few conversations followed, ZOOM calls with members of the Isotope team & a few conversations with existing clients of Isotope of whom were experiencing the journey Luke was some to embark upon, all resulted in understanding so much about one another prior to commencing the procedural launch of his new business.
We often say that in its most simplistic terms your own agency is a vehicle, a vehicle to help you & those around you get to wherever you want to be over the next 5-10 years & that’s exactly what Aspire Evolve is to Luke & we’re so pleased to be part of that journey.

You know how we used the metaphor of a vehicle when looking at what your recruitment agency ought to be for you & your family? Well Luke has taken that one step further. Given the successes of his agency, he was lucky enough to purchase a brand new Audi Q8 (wrapped in Aspire Evolve black) in the middle of his second year of trading. It’s not all about the material stuff, but you’ve got to reward yourself at one stage or another, right?
So there are a few things you might feel like doing right now. You might feel like re-reading the above? Perhaps you can resonate with this particular recruiter, perhaps they’re working in a comparable market to you & you’d like to re-read both their history & some of the support that has been important to them since their inception. Alternatively you might feel like reading another case study from the collection? Perhaps you’re interested in hearing other stories, other insights into what pulls recruiters to start their own agencies & compare that with your own thoughts & feelings around the topic. Or perhaps you just feel ready to make that first step for yourself? You’ve read a few of these case studies now & can see parts of “you” in every journey, you’ve looked at their history, you’ve reviewed what they had to say about Isotope & you might have even taken a sneak peak of them on LinkedIn. Whatever you feel like doing, what’s stopping you clicking that yellow button & exploring the idea a little further? 👇

“Providing the accounting & back office support for a business spearheaded by such an ambitious recruiter was always going to be a challenge & one that I have relished since working with Luke & his business since inception. We’re lucky enough to work with clients who are never standing still, clients that are always moving & therefore to suggest that your accounting support can be stagnant would be wrong. My job is to make the accounting provisions available to Luke & his business as seamless as possible, to sit as a genuine extension of him & his business which means I have to understand him, his market & the business he is looking to create to ensure the accounting support reflects that. ”
