At last week’s Marketing and Digital Recruitment Awards, held at the Hilton London Metropole and attended by the best recruiters in the industry, Forward Role were recognised with the ‘Best Regional Agency’ award.

The judges commented: ‘In this highly-regarded category entrants were required to display exceptional overall recruitment expertise within its specific region and prove to the judges how recruiting ‘local’ helps develop not only candidate and client relationships but community relations, too.  The winning entry produced robust evidence of working with graduates, local educational bodies, CV workshops and events.’

Founded in 2010, the Marketing & Digital Recruitment Awards – formally the Marketing & Advertising Recruitment Awards (MARAs) – recognise recruitment firms that have displayed unparalleled excellence within the marketing, advertising, creative and digital sectors.

MD, Steve Thompson commented: ‘The award tops off a very successful year for the company which has seen a significant increase in revenue and staff numbers. It's especially nice to be recognised for our contribution to the Marketing and Digital sector in our region outside of our core recruitment activities. We're extremely passionate about our work with local universities; helping to shape the next generation of graduates and courses and giving our staff the opportunity to 'give something back' to the industry we work in.'
