Trusted Recruiter at 10: A Decade of Connections, Challenges & Growth
2025 marks a major milestone for Trusted Recruiter – our 10-year anniversary. To celebrate, we sat down with our Managing Director, Antony, to reflect on the journey so far, the lessons learned, and what lies ahead.

Back to the Beginning
In 2015, Antony was working in medical device recruitment when he spotted an opportunity:
“I realised there was a niche, no one focused purely on the mobility and disability sector. At the same time, I was ready to work for myself. Trusted Recruiter was born.”
That leap of faith paid off quickly. Antony still remembers the buzz of taking on his very first role, closely followed by the excitement of making his first placement.
Standout Moments
Over the past decade, Trusted Recruiter has faced both highs and lows.
• Covid-19 tested the business and the wider sector as redundancies hit and salaries stopped.
• Personal challenges added to the weight of running a business through difficult times.
Yet, through resilience and determination, Trusted Recruiter continued to grow.
“Reaching 10 years is something I’m incredibly proud of. Not many businesses make it this far, and we’re still turning a profit today.”
What Makes Trusted Recruiter Different?
For Antony, the difference lies in relationships:
“We’re more focused on people and building connections. Many of our clients have been candidates, and vice versa. It’s a small, niche community and that makes it special.”
That focus on trust and community has led to countless referrals and repeat relationships -the very heart of Trusted Recruiter’s success.
The Rewards of Recruitment Working within the mobility and disability sector brings added meaning to every placement.
“It’s a rewarding sector. We’re helping people recruit individuals who sell mobility equipment that makes a real difference in people’s lives.”
Looking Ahead
So, what excites Antony about the next 10 years?
- Continuing to grow the business sustainably
- Expanding into new sectors
- Building the team and broadening Trusted Recruiter’s offering
A Thank You to Our Community
As we look back on 10 years, one thing is clear: Trusted Recruiter wouldn’t be here without the people who have supported us along the way.
“Just a big thank you, really to clients and candidates. Your referrals and word-of-mouth support are the reason we’re still here a decade later.”
Here’s to the next chapter.
