Thank you for attending tonight’s celebration of everything that is brilliant about
our industry. It’s a special anniversary too, this is the 10th time we’ve held the
Institute of Recruitment Professionals annual awards and it’s our biggest ever!
This evening’s event highlights the great work done by individual recruiters and companies across the whole of the United Kingdom.
It is testament to the skill and professionalism you all show that our jobs market is doing so well – contributing to the prosperity of
families and helping companies grow. Navigating these changing times in the industry, markets, technology, skills needs and legislation
is no small task and our job at the REC is to shout about the great work you do.
Being shortlisted for the IRP Awards is a huge achievement and a cause for celebration, well done to you all.
To those of you who have made it into the winner’s hall of fame, congratulations!
You are the best of the best and we applaud your exceptional work. I would particularly like to thank our judges for investing their
valuable time to help us maintain a fair and robust system, which is a considerable commitment on their part. I would also like to
thank our event partner, Indeed and all of our sponsors, without whom tonight’s event would not have been possible.
The recruitment industry has so much to contribute. It is a UK powerhouse
and one that I am proud to return to as the new Chief Executive of the REC.
Congratulations again to all our fabulous nominees and winners.
Neil Carberry, Chief Executive, REC
Many pursue excellence.
Few deliver.
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees of the IRP Awards
You're not just good at what you do. You're among the very best in the industry - and
we're proud to be recognising and celebrating your success as an official sponsor of
the IRP Awards.
Innovation matters to us. It has already made us into Europe's leading web-based
solution provider in the flexible workforce sector. It has also led directly to the launch
of myPixid - the first of a new generation of agency-driven VMS solutions that will
transform the way agencies and other organisations compete and win in today's
dynamic temporary recruitment market. Like you, we aim to shape the future rather
than just wait for it to happen.

C hris’ competitive edge and drive to succeed places him in a great position in a sales environment. With leaderboards in the
office, the vibrant atmosphere, earning potential, opportunities and additional incentives: Chris adapted to recruitment quickly.
A consistent overachiever who goes above and beyond, Chris made an impressive career switch showing fast and successful
progression already. His previous ten years of experience as a professional golfer carried through his competitiveness and people
skills affording him a quick promotion to senior consultant. One of Chris’ stand out stories of working with a candidate who had
been out of work for 11 years due to a brain tumour, really moved the judges – the candidate is now back at work due to Chris’
tenacious and supportive efforts.”12

A driana has proven to be exceptional in her leadership skills and abilities as a consultant and manager but what makes the
difference is her compassion and striving to actually help people rather than “fill a slot”. Adriana has made One Step
Recruitment Ltd’s clients happy with her understanding of the needs of the staff provided to them, who are motivated and hard
working and who enjoy the roles they perform.
Adriana was a clear winner for the professional commitment she shows day in, day out. Walking her candidates through every step
of the recruitment process, even making her way through heavy snow to get to the office so as not to let down her colleagues and
candidates, she truly cares. The testimonials on Adriana’s IRP awards entry warmed the hearts of all the judges; saying that her
service to her candidates was so thorough and sincere it could be classed as social care!13

manages Acorn’s Chippenham branch and therefore supplies expert recruitment support to companies and job seekers
within Wiltshire and surrounding areas. Described as honest, passionate and determined, she instantly impresses everyone she
meets and as a result is recognised as one of the best recruitment consultants within the company.
One candidate story that especially impressed the judges was when Kristy went above and beyond to help an autistic client
who had inherited their family business but was struggling to hold interviews when recruiting staff. She researched and taught
communication techniques to them and then she went in and ran the interview process along too. Ladies and gentlemen, a
deserved repeat winner, Kristy Potter!14

M ehreen has a great sense of what she wants to achieve and what she is capable of. A highly motivated individual with great people
skills, she wanted hands-on training to gain skills, advice and knowledge from others in a more practical way. Feeling that the
skills she had could be utilised and developed better as an apprentice, she left college after five months and applied through several
apprenticeship agencies for a placement. She was offered a role as an Apprentice Administrator with this leading independent
recruitment specialist at their City-based offices in London. It was a huge step to join this challenging and highly competitive sector
but she has seized every opportunity to excel and develop. Within 12 months, on completion of her Apprenticeship, she was made
a Junior Consultant, followed in April this year by a promotion to Recruitment Consultant within Admiral Recruitment’s Temporary
Division. Mehreen demonstrates the highest values for the industry and is an inspiration to all consultants joining. She came in as an
apprentice and now mentors two others, she works weekends if needed, goes on client sites and writes an industry blog.15

of caring enough to really make a difference. This ambition led him to set up Hyper Recruitment Solutions. HRS was built with a
vision of providing recruitment solutions which changes lives.
The judges were impressed by how Hyper Recruitment Solutions measures their added value not just through placing their
