What’s Happening at WRS

May 18th - On Thursday the 18th of May, our UK team explored food from around the world to raise money for Mind.

We created this fundraising event to inspire our people to learn more about different foods and cultures, and even try them for themselves.

The money from every item sold was donated to Mind a mental health charity, click here to learn more about the organisation.

May 20th - This month we celebrated our Mancunian heritage.

As it was World Bee Day last month, we thought it would be an opportune moment to highlight our northern roots.

Worldwide Recruitment Solutions’ UK headquarters is in Altrincham, just outside of Manchester – the home of the worker bee. We’ve always championed the true wonders of the north, especially in this diverse and welcoming city.

What better way to commemorate our rich history than by recognising World Bee Day?

We Attended WindEurope

The WRS team headed to WindEurope 2023 in Copenhagen for fun and interesting conversations.

We were able to build on our existing client connections and build new ones. For support and advice on new or ongoing projects, please reach out to our Business Development team.
