Janette Martin, CEO of Talos360 has been named as one of The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2022.
The programme, which is supported by The Times and now in its fifth year, celebrates the inspiring leaders behind some of the UK’s most successful and fast-growing medium-sized firms.
A record number of nominations – more than 750 – were received this year, proving that ambition is alive and well despite the challenges faced by increasing economic uncertainty.
The business leaders featured in The Top 50 demonstrate resilience, strategic excellence and export success. They operate across a broad range of sectors and are driving growth in every corner of the UK – from Edinburgh to Brighton, and Bath to Norfolk. Collectively, they employ almost 9,500 people and turn over more than £1.2 billion.
Established in 2009 to provide businesses with a better way to attract, recruit, and retain the best talent, Talos360 is now an award-winning provider of intelligent talent technology solutions. Having reported over 50% revenue increase for 2021 and following heavy investment in her senior leadership team, CEO Janette Martin has presided over quite a year at Talos360. As well as recording significant business growth, 2022 has been full of external accolades for the Warrington-based company: Nominated for several prestigious awards, Talos360 is now recognised as the 5th best place to work in tech by Great Place to Work UK in September 2022.
Janette Martin, CEO of Talos360, said: ‘I’m honoured to be featured among The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2022. However, I also see this award as a great testament to Talos360. Without the support of founder Stephen Rundell, the wider leadership team, and of course, our amazing, talented people, the company wouldn’t be where it is today. For me, my biggest passion is to work with great people, and at Talos360, there are 122 great people.’
John Garner, Managing Partner, LDC, added: “The volume and quality of submissions this year surpassed all of our expectations. We’ve been struck by the way business leaders have overcome challenges and adversity to run fast-growing and successful companies, proving that difficult circumstances can become the biggest driver of ambition. There are so many fascinating stories behind each and every business leader in this year’s Top 50 and I’d like to congratulate all of those featured. We look forward to seeing where they go next!”
