Recruitment expert receives Honorary Fellowship Award

Susie Ankrett (pictured), founder of Plum Executive has announced she has received her Honorary Fellowship Award, given by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) for her significant contribution to the recruitment industry.

The REC is the largest membership organisation responsible for setting standards for the UK recruitment and staffing sector.

For over 23-years Susie has been helping individuals find jobs and assisting businesses in recruiting talented and skilled people for their future success. She is now the trusted partner to local organisations helping maximise and optimise their talent acquisition and recruitment strategies.

Her journey and relationship with the REC started in 2001 as founder and director of Plum Personnel in Solihull. She was an elected member of their Council for several years and more recently an active member of their Advisory Council and the Employment Policy Committee.

Neil Carberry, CEO of the REC said: “The Fellowship recognises the significant and exceptional contribution Susie has made to both the industry and to the REC which plays such an incredibly crucial role in the UK economy, in people’s careers and in business.”

Susie commented: “I love being part of such an important, dynamic, vibrant, responsive, innovative industry that is so vital to UK plc – and the positive difference it makes to individuals.  I am so proud to be part of a sector that has such a massive impact.

“I cannot express how much this award means to me. I am humbled and deeply appreciative. It is truly a privilege to be nominated by my peers and to receive such recognition. I’m truly looking forward continuing to be a positive ambassador for the REC and the recruitment industry.  It is an honour.”
