Recruitment firm in the running for five national awards

Leading marketing, digital and technology recruiter Forward Role has been shortlisted for five top awards recognising the nation’s brightest and best recruitment firms.

The Manchester-based company, which celebrated its tenth year in business in 2018, has been recognised in five categories at this year’s Marketing and Digital Recruitment Awards (MADRAs).

They include Best Large Agency, Best Regional Agency, Best Client Service and Best Candidate Experience, as well as a bonus nomination in the Agency of the Year category.

Now in their ninth year, the coveted MADRA awards recognise UK recruitment firms that have displayed unparalleled excellence within the marketing, advertising, creative and digital sectors.

And Forward Role is no stranger to success at the MADRAs, having won Best Recruitment Website, Best Social Media Strategy and Best Regional Agency in 2013, 2014 and 2016 respectively.

“We’re a specialist recruitment firm and these awards are the equivalent of the ‘Oscars’ of our sector, so we’re absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted in five categories this year,” said Forward Role founder and Managing Director, Steve Thompson.

“It’s been an incredible year of celebration with us marking the tenth anniversary of the business earlier this year and our continued success is testament to the hard work of our 35-strong team, and also the fantastic clients we’ve continued to work with over the years.

“We’re really looking forward to the ceremony in November and will be keeping our fingers crossed that we can bring back some of the awards to Manchester. Adding something to the trophy cabinet would be a great way to toast a memorable year for all of us at Forward Role.”
