The Portfolio Group is a market leader in specialist recruitment, established in 1988 and growing from a modest team of six to nearly 80 people across three offices. The organisation’s expansion is a testament to an unwavering commitment to excellence and a passion for unparalleled service.

The company's journey is punctuated by strategic diversification, including the launch of Portfolio HR & Reward, Credit Control, and Procurement divisions, as well as an international presence with Portfolio Payroll Canada.

The Group fosters a strong, in-office culture, believing it's the key to cultivating a thriving environment. Initiatives like the annual company holiday, recently to Monaco, serve to bond, motivate, and reward employees, celebrating collective and individual successes.

The organisation also focuses on providing a clear career path with market-leading training and transparent guidelines, ensuring every team member understands their contribution to the overall company goals. This approach has led to many senior roles being filled by internal promotions, showcasing The Portfolio Group commitment to long-term career development.

I know I’m biased because my name’s on the door here at The Portfolio Group as owner and CEO but this really is a special and unique business. Great people make great companies and I’m so proud of what our wonderful people have achieved over the years. We reward well - our benefits, incentives, commission and bonus schemes are some of the best in the market, as are the long term career paths on offer. This is just the start and despite what we have achieved, we never sit back, we always look forward, which is why we always look to recruit the very best talent out there!
