Another great month saw the team break our previous revenue targets bringing more good news!
Given June will see AFA celebrate its 15th anniversary we’re on a real high at the moment. With the wealth of experience the team have brought in contributing to the success over the years, we’re excited to see where the next 15 years take us, we want to say a particular thanks to Anne, Debra and Rebecca who have been key members of the AFA team for over 10 years!
We’d also like to say a big thank you to all our clients, candidates and suppliers who have helped us over the years, without the support offered by people like you, we’d not be where we are today.
We’ve had the opportunity to get out to some great events again in May with Steve and Dan going to Wild Card Bar & Grill to support Sheffield Children’s Hospital with their annual quiz night and we’re happy to say they were a solid 3rd (after the 1st round) and still managed to finish in a respectable position by the end of the night.
Steve also had the pleasure of presenting to Island Networking where he was able to give some advice on why partnering with a recruiter can be a big benefit for your business. We’ve also continued to visit events at Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster Chambers this month too.
