Marketing, digital and IT recruiter Forward Role has announced record growth in 2017.
The Manchester-based business saw turnover rise by 56 per cent in the last 12 months.
The firm employs 32 members of staff and boasts an industry leading staff retention rate of 97 per cent,聽which it says makes it the largest marketing and digital recruiter in the North of England.
Forward Role was launched in 2008 by founder and managing director Steve Thompson, who set up the business in his bedroom in Bolton ten years ago.
鈥淏y focusing on things I felt were missing from my own experiences with the established players in the market from my days as a marketer, we quickly built a strong brand and reputation,鈥� said Thompson.
鈥淲e鈥檝e developed our proposition and brand over the years but those values that served me well at the start have remained.鈥�
鈥淢ost satisfying is the fact that out of the more than 200 businesses we placed candidates with last year, 12 were with the original dozen who bought into our brand in our first 12 months.
鈥淐lients like AO.com have been with us from the beginning and we鈥檇 like to think we鈥檝e played a small part in their monumental success due to the great talent we鈥檝e placed with them.鈥�
