Laura comments:
“I am very proud and honoured to be shortlisted for Temporary Consultant of the Year for the second year running. It may sound like a cliché but I’m nothing without the support of the management team and my colleagues who have taught me all I know and who continue to support my growth within the business. I am immeasurably grateful.
I am looking forward to once again representing Redline on the 27th November 2019 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel and will be hoping it is second time lucky!”
Peter Livingstone, Contracts and Interim Director comments:
“I am incredibly thrilled and proud of Laura for this nomination. To be selected for the second year in a row is fantastic. The IRP Awards is a great way for recruitment professionals from an array of industries to come together and celebrate each other’s success.
Laura is a crucial member of the contracts team and always offers help and support to others. Her clients and candidates continuously sing her praises in regard to her communication and commitment.
I still stand by the comment I made last year when Laura’s first nomination was announced. Being nominated for an IRP Award is a remarkable recognition an individual or company can receive in the world of recruitment and is unique in raising awareness towards the positive role models whose exceptional work, candidate care and client relations set the bar for all recruitment professionals and businesses to aspire to.
Redline looks forward to joining and supporting Laura on the 27th November to celebrate the crème de la crème of the recruitment industry.”
