Appointments announcement

Published: April 2002

Relay Recruitment has made two senior appointments. Alex Golding has been promoted to Operations Director, while Hannah Corbett rejoins us from Flame as Commercial Manager.

Previously Head of Commercial Division at Relay’s Bradford headquarters, Alex now has a roving brief as she oversees all divisions in a tranche of new offices. She will also take responsibility for training, staff development and recruitment across the group.

Alex, 28, who joined as a graduate entrant shortly after the company was established in 1996, feels that her appointment to the Board will show newer arrivals that hard work and commitment are rewarded. “Staff retention is vital as we begin a critical growth phase from strong Yorkshire player to pre-eminent regional force.”

Augmenting Commercial Division as Alex moves up, Hannah, 24, returns to Relay after a stint at the Leeds office of national network, Flame.

Formerly with Relay’s Industrial Division, she reports that the lure of the idiosyncratic niche player was hard to resist. “If Relay can retain its vibrancy, originality of approach and incredibly supportive infrastructure as it grows, it could become a national operation this decade.”
