Former Recruitment and Employment Confederation director Denise Walker has launched her own management consultancy, Absolutely Business.

It specialises in business consultancy, interim management and training services for UK recruitment businesses.

Walker started up REC’s Recruitment Industry Taskforce for Enterprise (RITE), which helps recruitment businesses start up.

She says: “I could see that there was a need for a more bespoke, hands-on approach for established recruitment companies. …so I set up Absolutely Business as the “next step” in terms of the depth of work carried out”.
