Partners Group announced as finalists in National Business Awards

Partners Group - a niche recruitment firm - have been awarded finalist status for the íGrowth Strategy of the Year Awardí by the National Business Awards.

The prestigious íGrowth Strategy of the Year Awardí is designed to recognise an organisation that operates an organic growth strategy, achieving outstanding levels of sales, market share and profits improvement.

Partners Group - the UKís fastest-organically growing recruitment firm - operates a unique approach to growth. Their growth strategy consists of four elements: a unique business model, a niche focus, a focus on people and their commitment to industry best practice.

Partners Groupís unique business model is the utilisation of executive search and selection of business technologists dealing with much higher calibre candidates, and utilising specialist headhunting techniques rather than advertising for candidates.

Partners Group operates in a number of very different, very specific market sectors. Project Partners focus on the provision of Business Technologists to the Financial Markets, and over the course of four years, our further four divisions were formed to focus on different skills - such as Compliance and Risk, Finance and Accounting, Sales and Marketing ñ within defined vertical markets.

By investing in producing the best recruitment consultants in the Industry, Partners ensure that they have the best competitive advantage available. Providing an outstanding training programme ensures consistency throughout the company, Partners Group offers exceptional benefits and incentives designed to ensure that a consultantís life at Partners Group is long lived.

The core premise of the Partners Group service is to ensure that industry best practice is adhered to with rigorous measures and controls in place. Delivering value to all stakeholders is paramount.

Tim Smeaton, Managing Director of Partners Group says ìIt is such an honour to have been awarded finalist status for such a fantastic award. Creating an ethos for being the best you can be ensures that a high level of service is provided to candidates and clients. By valuing and rewarding employees for their commitment to being the best they can be ensures that all aspects of the company are looked after and growth will come naturallyî.

The winner will be announced at the Awards ceremony on 8th November 2005. The National Business Awards sponsored by Orange aim to recognise business excellence across all business vertical markets. The full list of finalists can be seen on the National Business Awards website:
