Our Lilly turns one: Happy First Base Birthday
Lilly Chappell turned one last week and we celebrated her First Base Birthday in style (okay, some delicious cake, some celebrations, and some well deserved praise!). We are so so proud of how she’s doing – Lilly is a great addition to our team and is absolutely focused on getting things just right for our clients and for our candidates too. She now heads up the commercial team and is working hard to source work for the hundreds of candidates she and Beth look after.
Happy belated First Base Birthday Lilly. You’re a dream to work with!

FREE SEMINAR ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THE SHORTAGE OF TALENT
20 years in recruitment has taught us a lot !
We are inviting our clients and local employers as special guests to join us and celebrate our 20th anniversary at this free to attend, inspiring, practical and informative seminar designed to help you attract the best people into your business.
In an economy with high employment it is tougher than ever to find the people that employers need. Candidates are no longer desperate to find employment; they are increasingly more discerning even about the employers they want to be put forward to.
• Find out what really attracts the best people
• Learn about the impact of social media
• Understand how to manage your employer brand
• Three expert speakers
• Panel discussion
There will be opportunites to network, with a buffet and bar following the seminar.
Over the past 20 years we have seen the good, the bad and the downright ugly of recruitment practice and in this seminar we will share our experience of the organizations that are getting it consistently right.
