Why other businesses have chosen to work with Springboard….
'The Savoy has worked with Springboard for the past 3 years. Recently we worked closely on our careers campaign to promote the future opening of the hotel after its extensive restoration project. Springboard arranged over 20 road shows to key education establishments across the UK, which allowed us to meet with over a 1,000 potential recruits. Without the work of Springboard we would never have been able to reach this key target market of potential talent in our Industry. We are happy to recommend other companies in a similar situation to use the service provided by Springboard.'
Eugenio Pirri, Regional Director of Human Resources, Europe, The Savoy
Why Springboard? Because Springboard promotes this wonderful industry to thousands of people from many different walks and junctures of life. An industry that may otherwise have passed them by and therefore operators like us would not have had the good fortune to meet such inspirational, hard working and passionate people who really want to do well and make that difference, especially as Springboard has given them such an opportunity to meet so many great ambassadors of the profession.
James Grant, General Manager Wiltons

“I believe that major players in our industry have an obligation to understand Springboard’s invaluable work and what it stands for. It is the sole agency out there promoting our industry to tomorrow’s employees – a service we, as an industry, desperately need. In my mind, there is no question, all employers should show their commitment and become a business partner – it makes business sense!”
Michael Gray, General Manager, Hyatt Regency London, The Churchill
