Agency Owner Rollercoaster | Ashley Lawrence - Building multiple recruitment brands, putting culture and innovation at the forefront of growing a successful company

This week I’m joined by Ashley Lawrence, owner and Founder of Trinnovo Group, which contains three brands that operate across technology, life sciences and financial services. 

He started his recruitment journey working for the infamous SThree group, and from there set out to grow a number of successful recruitment brands.

Hearing Ashley’s journey was brilliant, but more importantly this episode focuses heavily on building a sustainable and attractive culture, as well as Ashley highlighting the key hires that he would make if he did it all again.

For recruiters who are wanting to learn more about growing a sustainable culture, this one’s for you.

For the junior consultants out there, this is an excellent podcast to learn more about innovation and how important it is to work for a company that supports this.
