The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo UK) and APSCo OutSource have unveiled the winners of the 2025 UK Awards for Excellence.
Sponsored by Workwell Global, Nétive VMS, Dyke Yaxley, Kingsbridge, Amiqus, Barclays, Blackwood Capital Group, Giant Group and Trowers & Hamlins, the coveted awards celebrate innovation and excellence in the staffing sector, with APSCo members undergoing a rigorous judging process to demonstrate their commitment to best-in-class services.
The winners were announced yesterday (17th September) at an invitation-only awards lunch hosted at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in London. During the event, renowned Executive Coach to CEOs and Senior Executives around the world, Stephen Gribben, gave an inspiring speech for today’s recruitment leaders. His live demonstration of how to create a growth mindset in teams and why it’s so important in the current landscape roused those in the room to take action and adapt to the changing times ahead.
Brian Huggett, Managing Director at APSCo OutSource UK commented:
"What an afternoon yesterday was! The energy and expertise in the room were unparalleled - as was the calibre of entrants for this year's awards! The APSCo OutSource Awards for Excellence 2025 brought the market together in full force. MSPs, RPOs, SoW specialists, technology providers and all the services that underpin them. A full room, a busy stage and the very best of recruitment outsourcing all in one place.
These awards matter because they showcased the highest standards across our sector. Every finalist went through a rigorous process, with independent experts reviewing submissions and testing details in the interview. Winning here is recognition that you are setting the benchmark for excellence
A huge congratulations to our 2025 winners, who, in what has been a challenging year, showed that excellence is not just being maintained but elevated. Many went above and beyond for their clients, candidates, and the market itself.
Well done to all of those shortlisted, and thank you to everyone taking part in this year's awards. The standard was so high it gave our judges a very nice problem to have.
Thank you to our members, trusted partners, RepComm and our key sponsor Nétive VMS UK for making this celebration possible.
