Life at CBSbutler

Merry Christmas from CBSbutler! 23/12/2011

Here is just a quick post to wish all our readers a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year from the CBSbutler team. We’ll be taking a well earned break over the festive season to relax, eat, drink and be merry!  As we draw closer to the end of 2011, we can certainly say we have had a successful year and weathered the economic climate as well as grown in staff and business.

Over the last year we have managed to achieve some great successes. We’ve been awarded some amazing awards such as;

• ‘Best Company to work for’ – for the second year running at the Recruitment International Awards
• Ranked in Recruiter top 100 listing – Not only ranked in the top 20 companies but number 1 technical consultancy
• For the fourth time, we were awarded ‘Best Engineering Recruitment Agency’ and were highly commended in the ‘Best client service’ category at the 2011 Recruiter Awards.
• Awarded ‘Best Company with a turnover of over £5m’ – Toast of Surrey Business awards
• Shortlisted for ‘Best Medium Recruitment Business’ at the Recruitment Consultant Awards.

Once again we worked in conjunction with SATRO helping to promote and sponsor the SATRO Science & Engineering Festival. The festival has been running for over ten years and brings together educational establishments and businesses to enhance young people’s understanding of business, science and technology.  This year we were able to provide the £10,000 needed to save the festival after local council budget cuts and also sponsor two of the cash prize competitions on the day: ‘Best STEM teacher of the Year’ and ‘Best Year 9 project’. The event was a great success and we are sure it’s going to be even bigger and better next year.

As well as business success, we have managed some great achievements in our charitable work too. This year we managed to raise £6500 for a range of worthy causes. Staff have really worked hard and got involved in a range of charity projects such as Help for Hero’s 10K run, Breast Cancers Wear it Pink day and Movember.  Let’s hope we beat this year’s numbers next year!

We have lots of exciting things planned for 2012 and we can’t wait to get started in the New Year. In the meantime, thank you to all our readers and we’ll be back blogging again very soon!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
