Horbury Group

A leading Yorkshire recruitment company has pledged its support to the most prestigious business awards event in the region.

Elevation Recruitment has become the headline sponsor of the 2011 Sheffield Business Awards, organised by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce in association with First For Business magazine

The South Yorkshire based recruitment specialist, who were also headline sponsors at the 2010 event, specialises in recruiting in accountancy and finance, professional practice, executives, sales, financial services and construction sectors.

Elevation, part of The Horbury Group, helps businesses find and recruit key staff at all levels on a temporary, interim and permanent basis, as well as offering skills testing for all sector disciplines and providing career coaching.

Greg Parkinson, co-director of Elevation Recruitment, said: “The Sheffield Business Awards form a key part in celebrating the achievements of the business community in the region, so we are thrilled to once again be headline sponsors.

“The 2010 event was a fantastic success and one of the biggest and best yet, so we are very much looking forward to this year’s a prestigious annual celebration.”

The 2010 Business Awards, due to take place in December at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, were postponed after the heavy snowfall and was subsequently held in January.

Businesses are now being asked whether they would like the 2011 Business Awards to be held in December or January. To have your say, email the Sheffield Chamber events team on events@scci.org.uk, or call 0114 201 8930. Responses need to be received by 30 April.
