Major recruitment consultancy Advanced Resource Managers is celebrating winning the first ever Institute of Recruitment Professionals Award for People Development
January 19th, 2010Thursday 26th November proved a night to remember for members of the ARM team attending the lavish IRP Awards ceremony in central London.
Hosted by broadcaster and former MP Gyles Brandreth, the ceremony saw 15 awards presented – the only industry accolades to be presented by the recruitment industry’s trade body.
Kevin Green, the REC’s Chief Executive, said of the awards: “This evening is just the start of a journey which could take between 10 and 15 years in realising our goal of professionalising the industry and attaining Chartered status.
“This all starts with the IRP members themselves; in giving them recognition and respect for bringing such value and high standards through their own individual capabilities.”
Kevin added: “The awards ceremony was the perfect way to show just how far we have already come in attracting people with the highest professional standards, dedication and commitment to the recruitment industry. We salute all the winners for their exemplary qualities and skills and wish them all well in their future careers and endeavours.”
ARM’s admired people development programme is the brainchild of Derek Goff (ARM Learning and Development Manager), Samantha Templer (ARM HR Manager) and Mike Gawthorne (ARM MD). Together with the ARM board and senior managers, they recognised that investing in staff development was the smart view to take in the face of stiff market competition, tough conditions and the need for a talented future resource pool within the company.
Mr Goff said, “To win such a prestigious award is a great honour personally, and a well deserved accolade to all staff at ARM who embrace training vigorously in pursuit of providing an excellent service to our clients and candidates. A special mention should also go to the Directors and senior managers at ARM who completely endorse and support L&D initiatives across the business.”
ARM are specialists in technical recruitment across a wide range of industry sectors including Rail jobs, Aviation, IT and Engineering to mention a few.
