We are very pleased to be continuing our partnership with Prolific North into 2026, marking our sixth consecutive year as their official Recruitment Partner.
Over that time, Prolific North has continued to be a genuinely important part of the North’s marketing, digital, creative and tech ecosystem. It is a space where ideas are shared, careers evolve and businesses grow, all rooted in a strong sense of regional pride and connection. It reflects the energy and ambition we see every day in the people and teams we work with.
For us, renewing this partnership is not a formality. It is a conscious decision about how we want to show up. Staying visible, staying involved and continuing to contribute in a way that is useful and relevant to our network. We are intrinsically involved in attracting world class talent to the region.
What this means for our network
At its core, this partnership gives us a stronger platform to do what we have always done best. Connecting people. Sharing what we are seeing in the market. Creating space for meaningful conversations that go beyond job titles and vacancies.
Throughout 2026, we will be part of Prolific North’s programme of events and industry moments. Not simply attending, but actively contributing. These are the rooms where challenges are discussed openly, ideas are tested and relationships are built. Being close to those conversations helps us stay sharp and ensures our network stays connected to what is really shaping teams and careers right now.
Building on the momentum from 2025
This renewal follows a year where we have focused on deepening our insight and broadening how we support clients.
In 2025, we expanded our finance capability, led by Olly Gaydon. More and more, our conversations with clients are centred on commercial confidence, performance and decision making. Finance talent is no longer viewed in isolation. It is fundamental to how growth is delivered and it is now a fully integrated part of our offer as we move into 2026.
Alongside this, we have continued to invest in the tech and AI space through our Tech Director, Jonathan Moran. His AI meetups across the North have created honest, practical discussions about what adoption actually looks like inside organisations. Moving past the headlines and into the reality of teams, capability and readiness. There is much more planned this year and the appetite for these conversations continues to grow.
Looking ahead
This partnership renewal comes as we enter our 25th year in business, which feels like a genuine milestone. Not because of the number itself, but because it represents long standing relationships, repeat partnerships and a network built patiently over time.
We are looking forward to another year working alongside Prolific North and to sharing the conversations, events and moments that make this community what it is.
