1st October - Traits of a Successful Business Owner We'll hear from award winning and highly successful recruitment business owners PLUS Masterclass session - helping you tackle opportunities and challenges in your recruitment business. Speakers: David Taylor is MD of First Point Group, a specialist telecommunications recruitment agency with a network of global offices based in London, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Dubai, Madrid, Mexico City and Dallas. They have won many awards including Recruiter Magazine's Best International Recruitment Agency for the past two years. Alice Weightman is MD of Hanson Search, a leading international executive search consultancy specialising in Communications and Marketing, with offices in London, Paris, and Dubai. Hanson Search provides expert, tailored recruitment with a focus on finding cultural harmony between employers and candidates. Since kicking off his consultancy practice in January (after almost 30 years in recruitment agencies) the most common questions Steve gets are around 'how does my corporate experience translate to benefit SME's?' OR 'what quick wins can an SME get from learning how the 'big players' in the sector operate?' and there is often as much value for SME's in advising what to stop as there is what to start! At the Directors event Steve will be talking about how SME's leverage that expertise and insight to achieve their mid range and longer term goals including a potential exit & wealth creation.

About the Events: Since 2009, RIDA and UK Recruiter have collaborated to design these unique director only events for professional recruitment business owners and directors who are aspiring to take their agencies to the next level. Featuring real case studies presented by industry peers who’ve been there (and come out the other side), topics can include anything from acquisition and organic growth to joint ventures, partnerships and outside investment. In addition to this, there are generously timed-intervals in which to get involved round table debates and both controlled and casual networking sessions, whilst enjoying complimentary beverages and cakes.
