Areti Group | B Corp™

🚀 The Areti Group family just got even stronger 🚀 We’re beyond excited to welcome Cathy Knight as our new Client Services Director, a massive hire for the business! Cathy’s a total powerhouse: 20+ years of recruitment experience, a mum of three, someone who’s worked with the biggest names (like Adecco) and built her own companies from the ground up. She brings that perfect blend of big-brand polish and start-up grit 🔥 Co-founder Luke shared: “I’ve known Cathy since school - she’s driven, full of heart, and lives by the same values that Areti was built on. The fact she had multiple offers but chose Areti says it all. She’ll be key to how we strengthen every client relationship and raise the bar for service across the group.” Cathy’s already hit the ground running - supporting our upcoming London Transformation Event at the end of this month, where over 30+ transformation directors will join forces to discuss the real business impact of AI. No pressure, Cathy 😉 This is more than a new hire - it’s a statement of intent. The next chapter of Areti Group starts now. Welcome to the family, Cathy! 💫 Pete Kelly Nick Oldridge Vince Robbins Charlie Fountain Chris Shephard Jack Salt Marcus Beauchamp Kieran Newton Stuart Lewis Georgia Carr

⭐ MVP OF THE MONTH ⭐ September's MVP was Vince Robbins, and how well deserved it was!

In September, Vince helped 9 candidates secure a new role and there’s absolutely no sign of him slowing down - he's already added 2 more contract placements this month! Congratulations again, Vin.
