A RECRUITMENT consultancy from Bournemouth has been named a Business South ‘champion’.

Engage Executive Jobs will help drive the work of the employers’ organisation Business South across the Solent, Dorset, Sussex and M3 regions.

Lucy York, executive recruitment director for Engage, said: “Engage Executive Jobs support their clients in attracting, and retaining, talent.

“In the South we frequently find we are faced with the challenge of disparity in pay and the illusion of needing to be in the City to progress within your career so, joining Business South, as a group that promotes the region as a place to work, invest, study, live and enjoy, made perfect sense.”

Geoff Paterson, area director for Business South, commented: “I have known Lucy for several years and was delighted when Engage chose to become a Champion of Business South.

“Other Champions have commented on their high level of professionalism and it is great to see Lucy and her colleagues proactively engaging with Business South with introductions and two-way events participation.”
