Maturerecruitment: Recruitment with a real difference

News Feed

Matureaccountants was started in 2005 by Chartered Accountant Martin Lloyd-Penny as a result of his personal experience of being over 50 (just) and out of work - as he soon discovered not a good combination! Martin knew from his years in both industry and the profession that there is no substitute for experience. A "mature" accountant has the depth of knowledge and skills that is vital when steering a company through major periods of change. Whether the change process involves financing growth, acquisitions, rationalisation, saving the company money or more importantly saving the company! But it can also be lonely running a business and many owner managers understand the benefit of working with people who have seen it all before. Matureaccountants has grown at a dizzying rate thanks largely to Martin's and his business partner Geoff's insistence on the highest standards in all areas of the business. So the question was - why stop at Accountants as the problem facing older candidates is universal so recognizing this Maturerecruitment has been set up to license the technology and know-how for other mature brands. Latest brand launched April 2009 : Maturecreditmanagers If you fancy a new and potentially very rewarding challenge and you have an area of expertise that you think could be developed as a "mature" brand please contact Martin. We are also looking for licensees to develop the mature brand overseas. T: 0115 931 2668 M: 07771 925180 E: martin@maturerecruitment.com Testimonials
