A recruitment agency which has enjoyed continual growth since its formation has been named Business of the Month – for the second time – in the competition run by Huddersfield law firm Eaton Smith.

The Clever Fish Recruitment Ltd was founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Adam and Victoria Dyson. Victoria had been made redundant towards the end of 2009 – and being seven months pregnant at the time knew it would be difficult to secure a new role.

Based from home and working long hours, the Dysons soon started to gather momentum and started to build a client base.

With Adam’s background in industrial and engineering recruitment and Victoria’s expertise in commercial recruitment, their combined experience and skills enabled them to be open to all opportunities and to recruit for all positions.

To help grow the business, they used every hour possible on the phone looking for new business. Evenings were spent sending out emails, adding their company to free online business pages and doing everything they could to raise their profile.

Now The Clever Fish Recruitment is in a position where it has a sustainable, respected and measurable business model.

Adam and Victoria received their framed certificate from Deborah Melluish, of Eaton Smith, at a presentation held at the law firm’s High Street offices and attended by the award judges.

The judging panel felt that Adam and Victoria deserved to be commended for their hard work and determination in creating a new business that’s “family-friendly, honest, hands-on and professional”.

Adam said: “Both Victoria and myself would like to say a big thank you to all of our clients for supporting us and all the candidates we have placed in permanent jobs and those people who are currently working for us in temporary roles.

“We are delighted that we have won this award for the second time and appreciate the recognition for our hard work

and efforts.”

The Business of the Month Award is run in association with the Lockwood-based Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and government export support body UKTI.

The competition is open to firms in Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield.
