IRP AWARD

There was a great turnout for the awards night.

In a ceremony hosted on Friday evening by former Communard, now BBC radio presenter and author, Reverend Richard Coles at Westminster’s Park Plaza, the REC’s Institute of Recruitment Professional (IRP) awards celebrated the very best of the UK’s recruitment industry.

Now in their seventh year, the annual IRP awards recognise professional excellence amongst individuals and companies working in the recruitment profession.

Recruitment and employment confederation chief executive, Kevin Green, said: “Hearty congratulations to all of the 2014 winners. These are people and businesses who continually go the extra mile in their mission to help candidates and employers be as successful as possible.
