September Review

"Face time with clients, candidates and our wider networks has been the order of service in September. Our team has travelled internationally and nationally, attending industry events and meeting clients, candidates and industry peers in the flesh. From INTERCEM in Istanbul to PropTech Connect in London, there has been a real thrust to shake some hands and make meaningful connections. At the same time, we have delivered a number of completions, shortlists and taken on new mandates from clients right across our core practice areas. September is widely regarded as a key moment in the year to reconnect and re-instil some momentum after the summer break, as organisations across the globe intensify activity to get key projects over the line before the year end and start planning for the next. The shift in gear in September has been palpable and it has been a true joy supporting clients and our wider network as they build teams that will shape the future of their organisations."
