Our Purpose, Mission & Values

Back in 2010, David and Alistair created a mission 'to be the largest, most respected telecommunications and network technology recruitment company, achieving this through organic growth, investing in our people and by providing exceptional service to our clients and candidates'. As our business evolved, so did our purpose and mission, and in 2025 we created a new purpose and mission which are guided by six core values.

Technology is shaping the future, but people remain at the heart of recruitment. We prioritise meaningful relationships, personal connections, and long-term success.
