Our founders’ story

An idea born from a very real staffing challenge.

The idea for FlexyStaff began in 2022 when Paul Lewin was operating a busy hospitality and holiday accommodation business. Demand could change quickly, but finding dependable additional staff at short notice was rarely straightforward.

During a conversation with Paul Wheeldon, Paul Lewin described how valuable it would be to have a trusted pool of people ready to support businesses when demand increased.

“In a perfect world, businesses would have hundreds of suitable staff available when they needed them.”

That simple idea became the starting point for FlexyStaff. Combining Paul Lewin’s operational and hospitality experience with Paul Wheeldon’s background in technology, websites and digital systems, the two founders began developing a better way for businesses and workers to connect.

FlexyStaff was not created as a traditional recruitment agency. It was built as a practical, technology-led staffing app designed around the everyday needs of businesses and people looking for flexible work.
