Seven years ago today, Zoe and I started our business with one clear vision: “Be Your Best.” It was more than just a tagline—it became our guiding principle, driving us forward every day. In that same year, our resilience was tested personally when our 3-year-old son Bruce was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Owning our own business allowed us to swiftly adapt, juggling carb-counting, insulin injections, and finger pricks alongside growing our company.
The early days saw steady, determined growth, building relationships and trust in our local community. Our team grew unexpectedly when Zoe came home from a school drop-off announcing our first hire, Nicole. In a previous life, Nicole had been a senior-level manager before taking a career break to raise her family. She quickly became a valuable part of our journey.
When COVID hit 18 months in, recruitment paused overnight. Rather than retreating, we pivoted quickly, supplying cleaners to the NHS, keeping our business alive and playing a part in something bigger than ourselves.
In March 2021, the market rebounded stronger than ever. Today, we operate at three times our pre-pandemic size, having established ourselves as one of Warwickshire’s leading office recruitment agencies. Our competitive spirit helped us thrive—not just competing with larger firms but actively disrupting the local market.
In 2022, we welcomed Hannah—a plucky graduate who had no intention of going into recruitment and had, in fact, heard from friends how tough and cut-throat the industry could be. Despite this, Hannah has become an integral part of our team, proving those stories wrong and she now runs our new Coventry branch. Most recently, in 2024, Ollie joined us from a career in policing. He’s just starting his recruitment journey, and we have big plans to help him succeed.
What’s next? Our ambition remains humble yet powerful: build on our hard-earned reputation, empower our talented team through enhanced opportunities and better systems, and continue bringing like-minded individuals onboard—those who embody the spirit of being their very best.
We never set out to conquer the world, just to excel in our corner of it. We’ll always remember our roots, remain grateful, and focus on creating opportunities—not only for ourselves but for our amazing team and the incredible candidates we serve.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Here’s to an exciting future ahead!
