As we wrap up 2024, it’s hard not to marvel at what’s been a truly incredible year for our team. So, let’s take a moment to celebrate the wins, the laughs, and the slightly-too-many airport coffees that got us here!
We kicked off the year in style with our annual gathering in Gdańsk. There’s something magical about starting the year surrounded by the energy and ideas of our brilliant team. The big highlight? Announcing the winners of our annual S&A Awards and our Great Place to Work certification. This is a reminder of the incredible culture we’ve built together—one that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and, let’s be honest, some solid Spotify playlists ;-). A big thank you to everyone who makes this company not just a workplace but a place we genuinely love.
Massive Growth Globally
One of the biggest stories of 2024 was our explosive growth. We didn’t just grow; we almost doubled our team size! This level of expansion takes vision, determination, and a whole lot of teamwork. Our team has been nothing short of spectacular, showing grit, passion, and a knack for turning every challenge into an opportunity. Seeing our footprint grow has been amazing, but seeing how our team embraced the new team members, making them feel welcome and comfortable…has been something that makes me incredibly proud of them. And we’re excited about everything that’s still to come as we scale up even further in 2025.
Customer Wins & Industry Recognition
What’s a year without celebrating the customers who put their trust in us? In 2024, we were thrilled to welcome some fantastic new names to our community, including Primark, Euro Disney, Nespresso and Footlocker. Each new partnership represents a shared journey of growth, innovation, and success, and we’re honoured to be part of their stories. But that’s not all—we were also awarded the distinction of UKG White Glove Partner of the Year. This recognition is a huge testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our team, and yes, it deserves a prime spot in the trophy cabinet!
New Leadership, New Heights
This year, we’ve made fantastic additions to our leadership team, welcoming George Denninghoff, Craig Salmon and Matthieu Sargentini. We also celebrated Donna Stephenson’s transition from Practice Manager to Director of Global HR & Administration. Each of them brings unique skills, experience, and perspectives to the table, and their contributions have already proven invaluable. From strategic insights to fresh ideas, they’re helping to guide us to new heights, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them on board.
In addition, we’re proud to have promoted several of our talented consultants into Team Lead roles. These promotions reflect their hard work, leadership potential, and commitment to excellence, strengthening our team and positioning us for continued success.
With these developments, we’re building a leadership team that reflects our ambition and ensures we’re ready to tackle whatever comes next. The future looks brighter than ever!
Innovation Galore
We took innovation to the next level in 2024. The launch of our Kwenta Suite marked a major milestone for us, providing businesses with the smart tools they need to empower their people and drive success. In addition, we announced a new partnership with Zaddons, further underscoring our commitment to staying ahead of the curve and delivering unparalleled value to our customers.
Valued Partnerships, Always Growing
While 2024 brought exciting new opportunities, we continued to build on the strong foundations of our existing partnerships with UKG, TestAssure and WorkJam. These relationships remain at the heart of what we do, and it was fantastic to meet their teams at various events throughout the year. Whether brainstorming new ideas or celebrating shared successes, these moments reminded us of the power of collaboration and the impact we can create together.
Spreading the “Happy People” Message
One of the most exciting developments of 2024 was the launch of our new brand campaign, Happy People Drive Your Business. This isn’t just a tagline; it’s a belief that underpins everything we do. We know that when people are happy and engaged, businesses don’t just survive—they thrive. This campaign is a rallying cry for organisations everywhere to put people at the heart of their strategies. And we’re here to lead the way.
Big Moments with UKG
This year, we were privileged to join UKG at several unforgettable events, including UKG’s Sales Kick Off, their Executive Summit in Pebble Beach, UKG Aspire, their regional Executive Summits, and several events in EMEA. They were a chance to connect, learn, and collaborate with some of the best minds in the industry. From casual chats over coffee to deep-dive sessions on the future of work, every moment was a reminder of the incredible ecosystem we’re part of and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.
Looking Ahead to 2025
If you think 2024 was big, just wait until you see what we have planned for 2025! We’re kicking things off in a beautiful location just outside Barcelona, where the energy of our annual gathering will set the tone for another fantastic year. We’re planning to grow our team even further, welcoming brilliant new hires who will bring fresh ideas and perspectives to our journey. And, of course, our first event will be sponsoring the UKG Connect Event in London, ready to connect, collaborate, and continue shaping the future of work.
2024 has been a whirlwind, and we’re carrying this momentum straight into 2025. The plan? To keep growing, keep innovating, and keep proving that when you put people first, amazing things happen.
Thank you to everyone who made 2024 unforgettable. Whether you’re a teammate, customer, partner, or one of those airport baristas—we couldn’t have done it without you.
Here’s to 2025! Let’s make it even brighter. ✨
