ARM wins RBS Management Team Of The Year award.

ARM wins RBS Management Team Of The Year award.

On Thursday 22^nd September 2011, ARM attended the Hampshire Business Awards in the prestigious Avington Park, Winchester.

ARM was short-listed for Best Management Team of the Year Award, along with Wessex Petroleum and Abel & Cole.

It was a memorable night, made that bit better when we won the prestigious award! Winning this award is just one example of the high calibre of staff we have at ARM and the investment we put into managing and developing our staff.

Mike Gawthorne, Managing Director of ARMmade the following comments.

“I am very pleased to say that we won.  This is a testament to the company and the management team in particular. The judges who included representatives from KPMG, Bond Pearce, RBS and CBI were hugely impressed with the passion, professionalism and determination demonstrated by the management team and business over the last year.  They particularly cited the management training programmes and progression group training that we have in place”.

Dan Salanson, Head of Corporate Banking for RBS in the Solent, said: 

"At the top of any successful company is a successful management team. In today’s business environment it is critical that management teams are engaged, driven and fully understand the challenges and opportunities confronting their companies.  Over the last few years the ARM board of directors has been instrumental in transforming the company from a boutique consultancy into a thriving organisation of 180 plus staff with a turnover approaching £100m, high staff retention, increased market recognition and respect throughout the recruitment industry. The team has successfully managed to control its organic growth, while still maintaining the same corporate ethos on which it was founded.”

Our future management team

Run by our in-house L&D team, ARM’s Advanced Learning Centre (ALC) is a key part of our strategy for developing our managers of the future. In it, all ARM staff receive the training required to ensure that our clients, candidates and stakeholders get the best of ARM.

From new recruits undergoing a 13-week structured intake programme to the most senior managers receiving bespoke training tailored to meet specific business challenges, the ALC is where our managers of the future are made.

In the last financial year Sep 2010 – August 2011, ARM delivered 5009 hours of training to its workforce.
