In our world, it’s not all about the numbers. We have spent years dedicating a discreet service to the industry and with our scale, reach and deep understanding of the market, we have helped our clients secure the talent they need year after year. It’s always been about quality!    

So, faced with a set of impressive business statistics, it felt strange to view years of activity in number-form, rather than the series of success stories and relationships that our business has been built upon. 

This 15 years’ talent experience seems like yesterday compared to the 35 years that I have spent within the media industry. This broader media experience (publishing and data) is proving invaluable where ‘media’, not just events, is increasingly key to successful appointments in roles at all levels now. 

Our global reach in terms of both roles and candidates is constantly surprising our clients and, in truth, us too!  I’m frequently amazed at the flexibility and versatility of our industry players who are frequently willing to relocate around the world. Moreover, I’m always impressed that despite understandable nervousness among clients and candidates that confidentialities are always maintained by clients and candidates alike.

Whilst I share the concerns of many in the industry at the issues we face at the entry/lower levels, the pool of genuine talent from Event Director upwards is in rude health.  A testament to the leadership and development that the veterans of our industry have provided the next generations. 

I am proud to say that we are 100% trusted by Clients and Candidates to make the right connections. We are 100% about people. We are tfconnect.
