Look who's back..............

Boxing fan or not you can’t have missed the fact that Joe Calzaghe managed an impressive comeback at the weekend, recovering from the seat of his sequined pants to retain his world champion status and maintain his unbeaten record. Less high profile, but equally important to all at Swindale Parks is our very own ‘comeback’ specialist, renowned for her ability to go the distance; she has punched above her weight throughout her 8 year recruitment career; the office has seemed too big without her (she did take up quite a bit of space when she departed); pound for pound she is worth more to us than gold………….. we are pleased to announce Claire has rejoined the team after maternity leave. Following her very own important delivery and now back at fighting weight Claire is looking to pick up where she left off – delivering results for her Clients and Candidates alike.

Whilst we are all doing our very best to make her feel welcome we are sure she would be delighted to hear from you, whether you are a job seeker after the next step on your marketing or creative career path or a recruiting manager looking to add a value to your team why not get in touch. You can email Claire by clicking here or call on 0121 585 6079.

At the kind invitation of our hosts at Clevercherry some of the Swindale Parks Recruitment team recently attended the Phil Bennett Sports Dinner in aid of the Cure Leukaemia fund. The event was organised to raise much needed funds for the ongoing support of the clinical haematology unit at the University Hospital Birmingham, known as the Leukaemia Centre. It also gave our very own Carl Booth the opportunity to rub shoulders with the Prince of Welsh rugby himself, Phil Bennett. Having collected his autograph Carl can now however go one better than to say he has simply met one of the legends of world rugby. Due to the generosity of our hosts Clevercherry, Carl will actually be playing with him as he turns out as part of a Phil Bennett International XV versus a Moseley Invitational XV, on Saturday 3rd May 2008 in the Sam Doble Memorial Match at Moseley Rugby Club. I know the team from Swindale Parks will be there offering their support, if you would like to join us please do, all of the proceeds are going to a very worthy cause.

Tickets are available to buy now - also matchday hospitality packages. Full Details

We have had a busy start to 2008 at the Midlands premier independent Sales & Marketing recruitment agency, the 1st quarter has positively flown by - here is a quick recap of the latest news.
Firstly a big Swindale Parks pat on the back for Jo, who has achieved promotion. This is the first of what I am sure will be very many rewards for over target performance in the months to come!
