RECRUITMENT STARS AGAIN! WE’VE PICKED UP ANOTHER AWARD!

As we celebrate our 21st year as a specialist games recruitment agency, this latest award means so much to us all here. It’s not been easy for everyone over the past 18 months of the pandemic and getting together, face to face, with friends and peers in Brighton was very special.

Our Business Manager, Liz Prince, collected the award and offered her thanks: “We’re so grateful for this award and to everyone who voted for us. One special person who always supported us was Ian Richardson and we, like many of you, lost a great friend this year.

“Some events in our lives serve as reminder to us to be grateful and to express that gratitude when we can, so tonight I want to say how grateful I am to our amazing team, for everything they do, I’m so proud of you. I’m grateful to do business with the best companies and people and to support such a fantastic industry. Thank you again for this award, it really does mean the world to us.”
