An international recruitment agency has been named Business of the Month.

Wakefield-based m2r Ltd, established in 2001, was judged the winner in the competition run by Huddersfield law firm Eaton Smith in conjunction with the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and government export support arm UK Trade & Investments.

The multi-award winning firm offers recruitment services throughout the UK and overseas. Initially, it focused on recruiting staff to a variety of sectors, but in 2013 rebranded and streamlined the business to focus 100% into education and training.

It now works exclusively with international schools, colleges, universities and private language centres handling the recruitment and expatriation of staff into China, Malaysia, and various Gulf countries including the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

The judging panel was impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication shown by managing director Munir Mamujee in his efforts to seek business development opportunities in countries which are usually very difficult to operate in by making regular trips to build up contacts and clients.

Panel members were also impressed by the firm’s contribution to the region and local community.

Mr Mamujee said: ”I am extremely proud to have won this award and it is a great achievement for the whole team who work extremely hard to support our growing list of international clients.

“We are looking forward to a great 2015 where we can really stamp our authority on the overseas education sector.”
