Quote from the top...

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!
