As ever, it has been great to work with the team at Vanrath. I was in touch with a number of people in the firm, each of whom went the extra mile, finding roles tailored to my CV and supporting me throughout.
On this occasion, it was Dan Morgan who secured me my new role. He listened carefully to what i was looking for, encouraged me to push the boundaries and actively managed the interview process from start to finish. He has been a wonderful advocate!
'Time to Care' is a unique partnership opportunity for up to 30 businesses in Northern Ireland, to part fund the annual salary of a qualified children's nurse at the Children's Hospice. We have since worked closely to support the hospice through many fundraising campaigns over the years, raising significant funding for their vital work.
Later in the year, we secured a significant stake-holder investment from prominent Mercedes business owner and property investor Neil McKibbin FCA. With this investment came the purchase of Victoria House in Belfast City Centre by Wayne and Neil, in a £12.5 million deal, allowing the company to move into brand new state of the art offices and continue their ambitious growth plans.
We have transitioned from a team of 3 accountancy focused consultants to a team of 40 sector-specific consultants covering a diverse range of sectors. Building successful careers and supporting our clients with the best talent in the market is at the heart of everything we do. We are driven by a passion to help people build careers that meet their goals, and help businesses achieve success through great and strategic talent.
