As I sit here, our wonderful Red Rose Award trophy catches the light, a tangible reminder of our recent success at the Red Rose Awards 2025. The journey from writing our initial submission to standing on that stage was a whirlwind. Lots of hard work, nervous anticipation and ultimately immense pride went into the process.
The beginning…
It all started with a blank page as we crafted our submission for the Red Rose Awards 2025 Professional Services category. Crafting the submission was a meticulous process. We poured over data, client and candidate testimonials, and internal feedback from our annual employee survey. Resultantly, we were able to tell the story of Eventus Recruitment Group, demonstrating our commitment to creating a supportive work environment and consistently exceeding client expectations.
Announced as a Finalist – Time to Impress
Then came the nail-biting wait for the finalists to be announced. We were relieved and excited to be named as one. So, the next step was the interview, a daunting but ultimately rewarding experience. We decided to showcase our company culture by telling the judges about our work within the industry and also the community. Previously, we’ve been finalists but not winners, so this was a new approach to the judging stage we risked to take. Luckily, it paid off. We also shared a short video featuring some of our team members sharing their experiences of life here at Eventus. Insightful questions from the judges pushed us to articulate our values and strategies in a clear and concise manner.
The Red Rose Awards Ceremony – A Night to Remember
The Red Rose Awards ceremony itself was an incredible experience. The atmosphere is always electric, filled with the energy of Lancashire’s best and brightest businesses. When they called out Eventus Recruitment Group as the winner of Professional Services Award we were so delighted. It was wonderful to hear the cheers! It was a truly surreal moment, a culmination of all the hard work and dedication of our team.
As Siobhan, Duncan and I accepted the award it was a moment I’ll never forget… a validation of our values, passion for connecting legal professionals with the right opportunities, sense of community and being a wonderful place to work. The recognition has given us an even bigger boost. Personally, as the specialist recruitment consultant for the legal sector in Lancashire, it meant so much for us to be up there with so many wonderful award winners!
Only later did we hear the judges comments as we were so caught up in the moment. They said:
This just further demonstrated that we got across who we are and what’s important to us as a business. It was exactly what we wanted to demonstrate to the judges in our presentation and interview, so we couldn’t have been happier with such a wonderful testimony.
In the end…
Winning the Red Rose Award is more than just a trophy. It’s a symbol of our dedication, hard work and the vibrant business community in Lancashire. It’s a reminder to always strive for excellence, to invest in our team and to continue providing exceptional service to our clients. We’re incredibly proud to be a part of the Lancashire business landscape and we’re excited to see what the future holds. Here’s to continued success and even more roses in the years to come!
