Keystream raises thousands for Marie Curie
Healthcare and public sector recruiter Keystream handed over a cheque for nearly £14k to Marie Curie, the charity that cares for terminally ill people, as a result of the recruiter’s fundraising for 2019. Activities included a sponsored 10k run, bucket collections at major London stations and a gruelling hike across the Yorkshire Three Peaks (pictured above).
Concept speeds ahead in business and on the track
As well as celebrating the company’s impressive previous year’s achievements at an awards event, where none other than former world champion boxer Frank ‘Know what I mean, Harry’ Bruno was on hand to deliver a motivational speech, CEO Chris Short has also had success but on the racing track. Chris collected a hat-trick of awards for Most Improved Driver, Fangio Class Winner and second overall in the SR1 Cup Championship in a Concept Resourcing sponsored car (

Recruiter: “I believe strongly that, as business leaders, we have a responsibility to support our employees’ needs when they experience a difficult time, whether it be through bereavement, illness or any other life changing event. Lucy is inspirational, and I can’t wait to keep in touch and work with her on her future projects.”
Volunteering improves morale for Brightred
Specialist technology recruiter Brightred Resourcing encourages and helps staff to volunteer for charities and conservation work. The
SYF Shazad Yaseen Foundation Homeless Feed in the Slough area (
