GRB Co-founders, Dan Hawes and Chris Cater, are delighted to announce 10 years in business. After year-on-year growth, GRB is now firmly established as a leading graduate recruitment agency.
Dan Hawes says, ìGRB has grown organically. We have done it by working extremely hard, focusing on our growth targets, hiring and retaining excellent staff and keeping an eye on costs.î
ìWe are an independent company with our sights set firmly on growing even further during the next 10 years - so there is still work to do - just as well we are workaholics!î says Dan.
With no shareholders to help them, GRB founders have grown the company the old-fashioned way and ploughed all profits back into growing the firm by hiring new staff, improving the companyís IT and more recently purchasing a new office block in Brighton.
Carl Gilleard, Chief Executive of the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) added, ìCongratulations to GRB on their 10th anniversary! The journey they have taken over the past decade has been impressive. The role of specialist recruitment agencies in the graduate market has grown in importance over the years and I expect to see the GRB go from strength to strength as the demand for talented graduates intensifies and employers look for recruitment solutions that are both efficient and cost effective.î
Dan says, ìOur growth wouldnít have happened without finding good graduates first, so we thought it would make a great story if we could find out about the career path of the first graduate we ever placed. We contacted Gavin Cunningham who had sent us his CV back in 1997. Gavin graduated in International Business Studies and French from UWE and was looking for a graduate role. We found a graduate position with Duracell as a Purchasing Trainee. Now he is Purchasing Manager with a leading high street bank based in London. Dan arranged a visit and chatted about Gavinís career and how GRB got him off to a flying start.
