August 2023 started off with a bang as I attended Bassfest in Sheffield…start as you mean to go on, they say, and this month has done exactly that. Filled with enough excitement and opportunity to last the year!

The end of our second week saw the formation of a relationship with a new client in Northeast Lincolnshire – a result of some in depth and hands on business development (BD) training provided to me by our Maria – our MD. Maria and I spent some time together honing my business development (BD) skills – that in turn has brought us new clientele. Proving just how valuable BD is within the recruitment industry. This new prospect is particularly exciting for me as it is my first, personal contact since starting at Alliance in June.

In between sourcing candidates for our new client and furthering my BD development – I have been able to enjoy some lovely weekends away, including experiencing boomtown festival for the first time. It was an amazing weekend spent with old and new friends that allowed us to all catch up. Keeping those relationships close is something that is practices in and out of the alliance consulting world – as is seen with our long-standing clients that come back to us time after time, no matter how much time has passed since our last contact.
