HR company awarded industry honour

YORKSHIRE HR firm Relay Recruitment is celebrating winning its fourth industry Oscar – a Recruiter Award For Excellence 2008.

Relay was awarded the accolade in the Best Marketing Campaign category.

The winning project was its successful We’re Ten Years Old campaign – announcing the company’s tenth anniversary in 2007.

The result boosted the company’s profile and resulted in an impressive business uplift and an increased bank of candidates.

Relay is based in Bradford and has offices in Leeds, Wakefield, and York.

Managing director, Steven Street said: “We place great emphasis on original, effective marketing communications that register with target audiences, rather than being clever for the sake of it.

“As such, we have always been confident enough in our efforts to pit them against those of much larger groups whose marketing budgets dwarf ours. Punching above our weight makes winning all the sweeter.”

Relay has also reached the regional phase of this year’s National Training Awards, for a training and development programme that is prompting unsolicited approaches from top consultants up and down the country.

The regional awards ceremony will be held on September 30, with the national event at the end of the year.
