Sponsored by Workwell Global, Nétive VMS, Dyke Yaxley, Kingsbridge, Amiqus, Barclays, Blackwood Capital Group, Giant Group and Trowers & Hamlins, the coveted awards celebrate innovation and excellence in the staffing sector, with APSCo members undergoing a rigorous judging process to demonstrate their commitment to best-in-class services.
The winners were announced yesterday (17th September) at an invitation-only awards lunch hosted at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in London. During the event, renowned Executive Coach to CEOs and Senior Executives around the world, Stephen Gribben, gave an inspiring speech for today’s recruitment leaders. His live demonstration of how to create a growth mindset in teams and why it’s so important in the current landscape roused those in the room to take action and adapt to the changing times ahead.
Samantha Hurley, Managing Director at APSCo UK commented:
“I’d like to extend a huge congratulations to both the winners of the 2025 Awards for Excellence and those who made the shortlist. In what has been a tough year, it is commendable to see so many members and Trusted Partners not only maintain their commitment to excellence but also demonstrate a clear desire to go above and beyond for their clients, candidates and the professional staffing market.
The live demonstration of a growth mindset from Stephen Gribben was truly inspiring, and I fully agree with his view that progress in today’s landscape can only be accomplished if we take action to achieve it. We need to influence perceptions and change perspectives as recruitment leaders. We can’t sit still and wait for the market to return to ‘normal’, because that normal is long gone. The future is changing, and we can choose to either thrive or crumble. I would also like to thank our incredible sponsors and judges who give up their time to help keep the awards going every year.”
