Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce held their annual Celebration of Business Awards on the 4th of November 2022.
Businesses local to Sheffield and Rotherham joined together at Magna Science Museum for an evening of entertainment and celebration.
Glu Recruit supported the event as headline sponsors and Managing Director, Rob Shaw, judged the Business of the Year Award.
He commented on the event, “It was a huge honour to be head sponsors of the Celebration of Business Awards. It’s a yearly highlight for our local business community and it was amazing to see so many people come together to celebrate one another’s successes.
“Being asked to judge the Business of The Year Award was the icing on the cake! We’ve been going to these awards for a long time, and I know how important this particular award is to attendees.”
Glu Recruit were among 25 other businesses who took home awards, across 9 different categories, and were highly commended for their Commitment to People Development.
Rob Shaw said, “My team and I are thrilled to have been highly commended for our Commitment to People Development. For us, personal development goes way above climbing the ranks and we try to do as much as we can to help our clients and candidates.
“As a recruitment agency, people assume that all we can do is put people into jobs and we wanted to strive to do more.
“We’ve made a number of strategic partnerships to help with personal development, be that through training and progression or to improve team moral within the workplace. We’ve launched various events like uNetwork and our popular Office Heroes event that the whole community can get involved with.
“People development is a much deeper concept than ensuring people get better jobs or more money, and I’m proud that Glu Recruit have been recognised for showing this.
“I’d like to say a huge congratulations to my team at Glu Recruit and to all of the businesses who were shortlisted, took home highly commended awards and to the winners.”
