What's the market paying? PCR Newsletter Spring 2010
1st March 2010 - Our new flagship Head Office opens at 35 Heddon Street in London. Following the success during 2009 of our newly established office and team at Shaftesbury Avenue, we're moving, upgrading, and up-sizing to a lovely new, purpose-fitted, office suite at 35 Heddon Street, just off Regent Street. It's completely a co-incidence that it's right by the Absolut Ice-Bar, although of course such a landmark does make giving directions easier! The new premises mean we can continue to expand the team aggressively and of course with the majority of our client base in and around town, our consultants in Cambridge will have much improved hot-desk facilities for both client and candidate visits. We plan to hold a number of welcome events over the course of the Spring and Summer, so look out for your invite! [more]
