At Carrington West, we believe that building a thriving, supportive workplace culture is the foundation for delivering exceptional recruitment services. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the exciting news that our efforts have been recognised across three prestigious industry accolades.

We’re proud to announce that we have been named “Best Culture (over 100 employees)” by Investors in People, received Highly Commended for “Best Company to Work For (over 100)” at the REC Awards, and celebrated our very own Patrick Gray, who won “Best Permanent Recruiter” at the REC Awards.

These accolades are more than just trophies, they are a reflection of the values we live by every day. From our commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement, to the way we celebrate one another’s achievements, these awards are a moment for our entire team to pause and take pride in what we’ve built together.

Managing Director, James Fernandes, says:

“Our culture is our superpower. Recognition like this is only possible because of the dedication and passion our people bring to work every day. These awards belong to everyone here.”

At Carrington West, we don’t just talk about culture, we invest in it. Being recognised by Investors in People, an organisation renowned for championing people-first workplaces, is a huge milestone. It validates our belief that when our team thrives, so do our clients and candidates.

Emily Christmas, Head of HR, added:

“From day one, our goal has been to create a workplace where people feel empowered, supported and valued. These awards are a testament to that mission and to the people who make it all happen.”

We’re also incredibly proud of Patrick Gray’s individual achievement. Winning “Best Permanent Recruiter” is a huge honour in our industry and showcases the high standards we strive for in everything we do.

Blayne Cahill, Director, commented:

“Patrick’s win is so well deserved. He epitomises what it means to be a recruitment partner, supportive, driven and always going above and beyond for his clients and candidates. It’s fantastic to see him recognised at this level.”

Being award-winning isn’t just about industry recognition, it reinforces our commitment to excellence for the clients and candidates we serve. These accolades highlight that we practise what we preach: excellence, ethics, and leadership in recruitment.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our clients and candidates who submitted testimonials and shared their experiences. Your words help us improve, grow and celebrate what we do best which is connecting great people with great opportunities.

Here’s to continuing to raise the bar together.
