Connect2Surrey 2023: Celebrating Success and Impact
As we prepare ourselves for a new year, we’re taking this opportunity to look back and reflect on the incredible year Connect2Surrey has had in 2023. Our successes this year are a testament to our commitment and dedication to Luton, and ultimately enabling us to bring more local jobs to local people.
Awards and Recognition
It’s been a great year for awards and recognition at Connect2Surrey, here’s some of our highlights:
- Finalist at the LGC Workforce Awards – ‘Best Innovation in Recruitment’
- Winner at the British Recruitment Awards – ‘Public/Third Sector Recruitment Agency of the Year’
- Sherree and Mayela received nominations in the CSG Star Performer Awards
- Sherree won ‘Business Development Champion’ at the internal Connect2Oscars awards, with Rhiana nominated for the Recruitment Values Award
Community Engagement
We’ve loved engaging with the community this year and have attended lots of events where we’ve met a lot of amazing people within Surrey. Rupal and Sherree attended the Stars in Surrey awards night, where Sherree was honoured to present the Lifetime Achievement Award! In the summer, Ambar represented Connect2Surrey at the Pride in Surrey event, and more recently, Rhiana, Ambar, and Sherree attended Surrey Festival of Skills – offering 1400 students CV writing advice. What a busy year! We’ve already got lots planned for next year, and we hope to meet many more of you!
Team Growth
Developing our team enables us to provide more support to our workers, as well as our partner, Surrey County Council. This year, we welcomed Mayela and Steve to the team, as well as Jessica and Amy who have joined us from our sister company, Connect2Kent, to support QSW. The team are settling in really well and building strong relationships – welcome all!
We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support this year - Connect2Surrey wouldn’t be the same without it! We look forward to continuing to grow in 2024 and working together to make Surrey a great place to live and work.
