Ambition UK 10 year anniversary

2018 marks 10 years since Ambition was officially launched in London, following the acquisition of specialist recruitment agency Witan Jardine in January 2008.

Reaching 10 years in business is an important milestone for any company, and we are very proud of what we have achieved during this time. Our UK business has experienced many changes and challenges during the past decade, as well as new opportunities which have led us to become the leading Professional Services recruitment specialists we are today.

Focusing uniquely on Professional Services recruitment has enabled us to become true specialists in our core areas of Finance & Accounting, BD, Marketing & Communications, Insolvency, Corporate Finance and Business Support within the legal, practice, property and consultancy sectors.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, candidates, business partners and employees past and present for your continued support during the past decade. You have played a key role in our success and we look forward to spending the next 10 years, and beyond, continuing to Build Better Futures.

On Friday 14th September Ambition celebrated the past decade by hosting an exclusive black-tie event for over 100 clients, candidates, employees and Ambition alumni. Read all about the event in our latest blog here.
