At the start of the month we ran our fourth directors only recruitment networking event. These are events which we co-host with HBRIDA and which are only for directors of recruitment businesses. This one was held at the offices of Mishcon de Reya, in central London. Our speakers were two partners from the law firm talking about Data Theft (we’ve just added an article from them to the UK Recruiter Plus website on the subject), Chris Ledbury of HBRIDA and David Leyshon of CBSButler talking about MBOs and James Caan. James spoke a little about his experiences of MBOs and then took questions from the audience. Somewhere in amongst all that we had time for networking with our sponsors (Bullhorn, Broadbean, iresourcer and Jobsite) and tea and cakes!
As a little bonus we also had a crop of “celebrities”. Obviously James Caan but also Lee McQueen (winner of The Apprentice in 2008), Chris Bates (runner up in The Apprentice last year) and Sean Gallagher (who was recently on the Secret Millionaire).
If you’ve been looking at these events but not sure about attending why not check out the feedback:
100% said yes to “Did you enjoy the event?”
100% said yes to “Did you enjoy James Caan’s presentation?”
100% said yes to “Would you be likely to attend our next event?”
Our next event is on the 14th July. We’ll be announcing the subject, venue and sponsors in the next week or so. If you want to ensure you can attend email me and I’ll let you know as soon as registration is open.
