And while the comings and goings of what goes on in Woking have been consigned to the dim and distant past, David's legacy and his impact on the industry he has been an important part of for 37 years, will endure. David has been an advocate and a champion for the industry from the very beginning. Indeed, when I was actively involved in running recruitment businesses the only two events I made a point of attending were World Leaders in Recruitment and the Recruitment International awards. Their appeal was simple: I knew I would enjoy being in a room full of my peers and, especially with World Leaders, I would come away with a better understanding of what was shaping the recruitment industry. Having said that, I also remember at one particular awards event, a very famous cricketer making a sexist joke in his after-dinner speech and being 'robustly challenged' by more than one of the female leaders in the audience. I doubt he made that mistake again! And again, women in leadership in the staffing industry is something David has championed for over 25 years. World Leaders is an event that has gone from strength to strength and the Recruitment International awards were the bedrock of the TIARAs which have grown into the largest global series of award campaigns across the talent ecosystem. But David has offered so much over the years: he has been a confidant, adviser, and friend to many industry leaders and has a reputation for integrity and decency that is simply unrivalled; and he has been an important part of the TALiNT Partners' journey since 2018 and I am proud to have had him as a colleague. David will continue to be an ambassador for our business and I'm sure we've not seen the last of him, but for now, please join everyone at TALiNT Partners in wishing David a long and happy retirement. Ken. #recruitmentnews #recruitment
