KSB Recruitment Consultants Ltd is celebrating national recognition after being named Best Hospitality & Catering Agency UK at the Corporate Vision HR and Employment Awards 2026.

The Solihull-based recruitment specialist, which works with hospitality and catering businesses across the UK, received the award in recognition of its consistent delivery, sector expertise and commitment to both clients and candidates. 

Founded and led by managing director Dawn Bannister, KSB Recruitment has built a strong reputation within the hospitality sector, supporting hotels, restaurants, contract caterers, care providers and event venues with both temporary and permanent staffing solutions.

The business is known for its hands-on approach, industry knowledge and focus on long-term partnerships. The business celebrates its 35th birthday in March, which is an achievement in itself.

Ellie Bryant, HR Manager said: “We are proud to receive this award. Hospitality and catering is at the heart of everything we do, and to be recognised nationally for the work we deliver is something the whole team is incredibly proud of.

As a business based in Solihull, we’re passionate about supporting both local employers and national clients, helping them secure the right people to keep their operations running successfully.

This award reflects the dedication of our team and the loyalty of the clients and candidates who trust us every day.”

Over the past year, KSB Recruitment has continued to strengthen its presence across the UK hospitality market, supporting businesses through ongoing staffing challenges, seasonal demand and long-term workforce planning.

The company’s focus remains on quality over quantity, ensuring that every placement is carefully matched to meet the needs of both employer and candidate.

Alongside its commercial success, KSB Recruitment has a strong commitment to social and corporate responsibility within the local and wider community.

The business is a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and holds the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award, demonstrating its ongoing support for veterans, reservists and military families.

Through advocacy, awareness and leading by example, KSB Recruitment aims to support more organisations in making the same commitment.
