Danny comments,
‘I am beyond delighted to have been named Recruitment Entrepreneur of the Year 2019. Talint and the TIARAs are a benchmark of quality in the staffing industry internationally, and the history and prestige of sponsors Mishcon de Reya add another level of global recognition.
‘To succeed against tough competition, particularly large and long-established firms, shows the power and tenacity of smaller agencies like ours (we grew to 90 people and are 16 years old in 2019) and the positive contribution of recruitment SMEs in the marketplace.’
