Crone Corkill celebrates 30 years in careers

1977 saw ‘Rocky’ pick up the Academy Award for best picture, the death of Elvis and the launch of the Apple II computer.

1977 was also a special year for office support recruitment consultancy Crone Corkill as they saw the opening of their first office in Eldon Street, London.

30 years later, 2007 sees the release of Rocky Balboa, ‘the King of rock and roll Elvis Presley’ firmly positioned as the second highest earning posthumous entertainer and the launch of the new Apple i-phone, demonstrating that quality brands are still impacting on today more than ever.

With over 90 consultants in five locations, Crone Corkill is one of the UK’s most respected secretarial recruitment consultancies.

The 30 years since 1977 have seen the role of the Secretary change out of all recognition. “The status and responsibility of office support staff has developed enormously” comments Tracy Durrant, Managing Director of Crone Corkill. “Whereas PAs and secretaries used to act mainly as gatekeepers, diary managers and typists for the boss, roles today have a much more strategic angle. Responsibilities can cover a multitude of differing areas – from office management to marketing – from HR to PR! Consequently, salaries are now on a par with many other professional staff and are a far cry from the £30 a week you would have got paid in 1977!”

“One thing that has remained consistent over the past thirty years is Crone Corkill’s dedication to a quality recruitment service” adds Tracy. “From day one we have worked hard to achieve the best results for both clients and candidates which is what has kept us as leaders in our field for the past 30 years.”
