Steps to Work celebrated ten years of success and Starting Point Recruitment celebrated five years of success on the 1st October 2009 at the Banks Stadium in Walsall.

The evening was presented by the Chief Executive, John Brewer who gave an overview of the two companies past, present and future.
John Brewer said,
“Over the years both companies combined have worked to support over 23,000 people into work and achieved many milestones along the way. The success of the two companies’ is credit to the staff teams which have grown from a team of 4 to over 100. Our time so far has been memorable and we are now very much focused on the future and exploring new and innovative ways of supporting people in their search for training and employment”
