Bright Purple is pleased to announce our inclusion in the shortlist for the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), Institute of Recruitment Professional (IRP) Awards for the categories ‘Business Leader of the Year’ and ‘Business Manager of the Year’.
Having made the finals for Business Leader of the Year
last year we are delighted to have been selected again this year and also
shortlisted for another award.This
demonstrates the commitment of our management team in leading the company
forward.
As quoted
from the Rec website “Again, the judges have been astonished by the standard of
excellence and professionalism demonstrated in the entries received for the
awards and again, they have had an extremely tricky time whittling them
down to the crème de la crème. From this list, the judges will also
choose the overall IRP Recruiter of Year.”
Commenting
on the shortlist, Kevin Green, the REC’s Chief Executive and Chair of the
Judging Panel, said:
“The
recruitment industry is built on its people and the IRP awards celebrate this
most valuable of assets. The very fact that entries have increased 30 per cent
this years speaks volumes about how they are recognised by both their employers
and colleagues. Again, we have all been excited and delighted by the overall
standard and range of entries, all of whom celebrate both individuals and
companies who are standard bearers for the highest possible professional
standards to which we all strive.
“All who have
reached this final stage have reason to be proud as they have demonstrated best
practice, excellence and ethics that embodies what the IRP stands for. We look
forward to honouring them all at our awards evening in September.”
The
glittering awards ceremony hosted by Huw Edwards, the esteemed presenter and
Royal Wedding broadcast anchorman, will be on the evening of Thursday September
29 at the Lancaster London Hotel following the REC’s National Convention.
