In early 2015, Francesca Sandiford & Fiona Brindley both held top billing spots in their employed recruitment consultant roles.
Each with 5 - 7 years' experience recruiting into the Education sector, they were collectively billing over £600K per year and felt confident they could do it for themselves, gaining the freedom to do things their way and make a lot more money.
After a small number of calls and meetings, a partnership with Hilton Lord was agreed and in April 2015 SMART Education Ltd was formed. Arguably the fastest success story of all the Hilton Lord companies, Fran and Fiona were billing almost immediately, and at extremely respectable levels within a few short months.
Set for really strong growth over the next year, SMART Education has a very promising future!
