3. WHERE IT BEGAN
Our story begins in 1999, when Matthew David Ellis, a
young entrepreneur from Solihull, joined forces with the
Pertemps Recruitment Partnership. The two newly formed
partners established Executive Network in Edgbaston,
Birmingham. The partners were very different, one a
national recruitment business established in 1961 with over
100 Branches making them one of the largest Recruitment
organisationsintheUK,theotheranentrepreneurialyoung
individual with a talent for “specialist” recruitment. Both
shared common passions; A passion for understanding
individuals, a passion for world class service, a passion for
excellence and a passion to be the best - the best in class.
It was this shared passion that brought their partnership
together and led to the creation of Executive Network
Group.
MARKET LEADING BRANDS
Executive Network, inspired by our passion to be the best
in class, soon developed our reputation in the UK Specialist
Marketplace. We partnered with new & existing brands
who shared our belief, to become one of the UK’s biggest
specialist recruitment practices.
Over the years we have grown into an organisation
creating and acquiring many industry-leading brands.
First came RED in 2002, a brand famed in the Midlands for
its superiority in the Rec-to-Rec and Sales Sectors. Closely
following this success, in 2004 The HSE Recruitment
Network was acquired; the UK’s leading Health, Safety and
Environmental recruitment consultancy. Soon after this a
gap was identified in the Facilities Management industry
for a recruitment business with our passion & values
and The FM Network was born in 2010. In 2012 the No.1
resource for HR talent, Network HR joined the group.
Most recently in 2013 our group’s expertise in the heavy
equipment sector saw the creation of The Equipment
Network, as well as pushing our expertise overseas with
the birth of the group’s most recent brand; Network Group
International.
INSPIRED BY EXPERIENCE
Renowned as much for our people as for the stunning
recruitment offering we provide, Executive Network
Group offers something truly unique: From the Board of
Directors, through our Senior Recruitment Team to our
best in class Recruitment Academy Graduates, ours is an
experience like no other.

their chosen areas, and we pride ourselves on working in candidate driven markets. What

EXECUTIVE NETWORK GROUP

5. The people who work at Executive Network Group are our most important asset. From junior
members of staff, to our directors, we pride ourselves in having a diverse and friendly atmosphere
with teamwork and friendship at the core.
It is the passion and talent within our teams that we are most proud of, and we celebrate these
qualities in people whenever we can. Below, Managing Director, Matt Ellis, talks about three
members of the team who stand out as exceptional.
LAUREN TAI SEN CHOY
“I first met Lauren during an Assessment Day for our 2012 Training Academy and instantly warmed
to her. Lauren came across as very personable; had a bubbly personality and was determined to be
a success. And boy did she not disappoint!
Winning the Top Grad prize, Lauren went on to be the 2012 Winner of the Academy and followed
this up by being the Top Performer in her category for 2013. Her greatest success to date has been
setting up her own contract desk and billing in excess of £100k in her first year in recruitment. I
know when we set a company-wide incentive, Lauren will be the one driving it from the Sales Floor
and inspiring everyone to get it done.
We have no doubt Lauren will progress through the ranks at a rapid pace and she certainly has the
qualities I would look for to lead a team or division… watch this space!”
ALEX SUTHERLAND
“I first met Alex in 2008 when we were looking to set up a new division within Facilities Management.
He had a tough business-like exterior but I had my suspicions that there was a soft centre in there
somewhere - I just needed to get through the surface!
Alex’s strengths are many - he is driven, determined, commercially aware and a visionary. But
beyond all, I would consider the strength that makes Alex stand out from the crowd is his ability
to network and build relationships at all levels within his chosen field. Alex’s ride with Executive
Network Group has been a roller-coaster with low times and high times, but his determination has
never seen him waiver from his goal of establishing his own business into a market leader.
His greatest achievements came in recent times (Dec 2013) where he was crowned our group’s Top
Biller and Employee of the Year for 2013. Perhaps even more rewarding was Alex’s FM Team were
the winners of every award going at the year end conference.
Alex is now a valued member of our management team and his entrepreneurial outlook offers
an invaluable input to our future direction. I have no doubts Alex’s career will continue to flourish
with our group as his skill set develops and he grows his business into the No.1 FM recruitment
business in the UK and Worldwide.”
SARAH HAMILL-MOSS
“ImetSarahin2007asabright-eyedyoungwomanfreshfromcollegewithadriveanddetermination
I had never seen before or since in an 18 year old.
Sarah’s personality is infectious and in the seven years I’ve worked with her, I can honestly say I
have never seen her without a smile on her face. Sarah is someone you want to be around and this
has undoubtedly contributed to her success in the recruitment market.
Having been promoted 5 times within the business, I cannot remember a time in recent years
when Sarah has not been a finalist for our end of year top honours - winning them on more than
one occasion. I see no boundaries to Sarah’s future with Executive Network Group. Our clients love
her, our candidates love her and above all, our team all love her!”

6. INSPIRED BY THE ELITE
We are also very proud of our Elite Executive Club – A club for the truly outstanding individuals amongst us who
consistently deliver and over achieve.
You can be rewarded with varying levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum. These can result in rewards from
an extra holiday, Friday early finishes to a tailor made suit and a fully expensed European break.
INSPIRED BY OUR CULTURE
Executive Network Group is a truly inspiring company to
work for. We encourage our people to be entrepreneurial
and accountable. Innovative thinking and a proactive
attitude will ensure we achieve success. We work hard to
create an environment that is supportive and encourages
our people to have a career rather than just a job.
Our people have the autonomy to realise their goals and
ambitions through innovative thinking and proactive
attitudes. We offer comprehensive training and ongoing
development opportunities to ensure our goals and
ambitions are realised; no matter how big or small. We
embrace positive & constructive feedback and are as at
ease giving feedback as we are receiving it.
At Executive Network Group Its not all work; we are
pretty good at playing too! We are a team of enthusiastic,
sociable, professional people who know how to enjoy
ourselves and genuinely respect one another. We provide
an exciting, dynamic environment where creativity and
competitiveness is rewarded, not stifled.
INSPIRED BY OUR REWARDS & INCENTIVES
There are few companies where the rewards for hard work
are so attractive. Helping people find their ideal job and
organisations realise their growth ambitions is hugely
rewarding in itself, so our generous basic salaries and best
in class commission bonus schemes are truly the icing on
the cake. The goals we set are motivational and above all
realistic. Our rewards are there to inspire us. The more
effort we put in the more rewarding our role becomes.
Sales results and world class customer service are key
to our earning potential. We work closely with our
people to understand personal motivators, whether it be
amazing travel experiences or driving prestigious cars; we
understand these will help us stay on top of our game and
truly engage our workforce.
Whilst we are remunerated & rewarded personally for
the results we achieve, we have unlimited daily, weekly,
monthly & annual team incentives that can range from an
early finish on a Friday to an all expenses paid team trip to
a world wide destination.
Above all, we are always striving to beat our company
bests and reap the rewards of being part of a globally
successful team.
INSPIRED BY DEVELOPMENT
Training and development is the lifeblood of our business.
It drives everything we do and we are extremely passionate
about it. Our training programs are tailored to our
individuals and are structured according to their existing
skills, experience and background. In recognition of our
commitment to development, we have been accredited
with the Investors in People standard year-on -year.
Our unique and transparent flexible career path caters
to the skills set of our people and how they envision
their career and future. Progression is built around skills
and attributes rather than length of service and we are
proud that, in this fast-paced demanding environment, we
are able to support our people in developing successful
careers – whether they’re brand new to recruitment or
have a wealth of experience.
We are all constantly developing and learning from
professionals who’ve built their careers with us, discovering
niche skills and markets to inspire our success. All our
people will be invited to complete the REC Certificate in
Recruitment Practice to become MIRP qualified members
of the REC.
INSPIRED BY OUR PERCEPTION
We are only too aware how every action we take creates
a perception, and we ensure that every action we take
will create a “Word Class” perception. Whether we are
producing adverts for our websites, sending letters and
emails, or producing marketing material - World Class
perception is always our goal.
INSPIRED BY OUR ACADEMY
We don’t play it safe. We invest in young people annually.
Our Training Academy is truly the best in class and the
only one of its kind. Giving motivated Young Professionals
and Graduates the opportunity to build a rewarding and
structured career in the Recruitment Industry.
INSPIRED BY OUR PEOPLE

bes - the majority need not apply. With an emphasis on
teamwork and camaraderie, we’re not just colleagues, but
friends too. We inspire each other to achieve our best, and
foster a motivational and positive environment throughout
all our businesses in the Group.
OUR CULTURE
EXECUTIVE NETWORK GROUP
INSPIRED BY YOU
Our expectations of our people form the code of conduct that runs through the foundations of our business. Below are
the “rules we live by”. These were formed with the input of our people and represent the experience we wish people to
have both internally and externally:
Respect – One another, the legislation, our candidates & clients, our company, our profession.
Self-Manage – Our performance, our activity, our feedback, our perception.
Succeed – We are highly supportive of developing performance, yet intolerant of poor attitude and application.
Get the Job Done – Working whatever hours it takes, is essential to ensure we are available to our candidates &
responsive to our clients.
Dress to Impress – Corporate suits are our minimum standard and our commitment to charities allows an optional
dress down the first Friday of each month.
Communicate to Succeed – We use email, social media, the internet & all communications mediums solely for
professional use, keeping our personal activities personal.
Inspire to Succeed – We commit to one “group” business development session per week, working with our colleagues
to inspire new businesses to work with us, via cross selling.
Friday Club – We commit to attend the monthly “Friday Club” with our colleagues to relax, unwind and socialise with
one another.
Embrace Change – As the only constant in our lives, we never fight change and embrace it to keep us moving forward.
Stay Informed – We appreciate the value in documenting everything we do on the company CRM.
Never P.L.O.M – “Poor Little Old Me” has no place within our ranks. We work hard to motivate one another as well as
ourselves and realise excuses must be replaced with action.
Celebrate Success – No matter how big or small, we value the praise of one another and the recognition received when
we celebrate our successes.
Go the Extra Mile – We commit to one another to go the extra mile in all our endeavours for each other, our candidates
& our clients.
Keep Attacking – We value our code and are inspired by our passion and principles. Standing still creates complacency
and prevents our drive for best in class being reality. We are forever evolving and ever attacking.

“THE EXECUTIVE ACADEMY WAS THE PERFECT WAY TO BE INTRODUCED TO
THE WORLD OF RECRUITMENT.” Sunil Chohan - Executive Academy 2013
INSPIRED BY OUR ACADEMY
Our market leading Executive Academy started in 2011,
giving inspiration to motivated Young Professionals and
Graduates to build a rewarding and structured career
in the Recruitment Industry. Our passion is to develop
young talent in a time when they are often criticised
and condemned in the press and are unable to break
into successful careers in favour of more experienced
hires. We decided to buck this trend. We recognised a
shortage of new talent in the recruitment industry and
whilst other companies were “playing it safe”, we designed
and developed an Academy to bring new and exciting
individuals into the Group, taking meticulous time to
develop and invest in their future.
WHAT IS THE ACADEMY?
Our Academy is now an annual event spanning 10 weeks
of intense and enjoyable training in both a classroom and
a busy, dynamic sales environment alongside successful
recruitment consultants. Recruits are assigned an
experienced mentor as well as the support of our MD and
Training & Talent Manager.
With 30 years recruitment experience between them and
a proven background of developing great recruiters, their
sole focus is to ensure the success of all new recruits and
investing all possible resources to make sure our Executive
Academy recruits “graduate” with flying colours.
After graduating through the 10 week Executive Academy,
our recruits then join one of our established and successful
teams. As they build their “business within a business”
they will be under the continued guidance of our Training
& Talent Manager until they are “stand alone” consultants.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Recruitmentisessentiallyasalesrole;welookforourpeople
to be hard working, fearless, passionate and articulate. We
love individuals who have real motivations with a passion
for success; this teamed with an entrepreneurial spirit will
result in a long and rewarding career with the Executive
Network Group.
