Morgan Hunt

Morgan Hunt is the UK's leading provider of specialist recruitment, consultancy and headhunting services to the public sector, leading global firms, SMEs government bodies and institutions.

At the 2010 Recruiter Awards they won Best Public Sector Recruitment Firm; Best Corporate and Social Responsibility Strategy; and the Overall Gold Grand Prix Award for the Best UK Recruitment Firm.

The international recruiter is sponsoring key projects in the DKH Legacy Trust's 'Get on Track' programme, which provides stepping stones for vulnerable young people into volunteering, work placements and employment opportunities.

Gavin Megnauth, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Morgan Hunt, said:

"Everyone is well aware that it's a tough economic time right now. Even graduates are finding it difficult to enter employment, so for disadvantaged young people with little or no training, the challenge is even more stark. We believe the industry has a responsibility to help, and are making even more of a commitment to CSR this year.

"We work with more than one thousand organisations across the UK and are one of the leading public sector recruiters in the UK. We'll be looking to harness our relationships with these employers to help the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust make a real, meaningful difference to young people's lives and careers."

Dame Kelly Holmes said: "Elite sports performers can provide great inspiration for young people, helping them to find and believe in their own talents, which is what we do through our 'Get on Track' Programme. Not only is it fantastic to have the financial backing of Morgan Hunt on this, but their national network of organisations and companies that might be able to offer employment opportunities to our young people, will help us make a real difference."
