MCV/DEVELOP AWARDS – WITH THANKS FOR OUR ACCOLADE!
Boss Lady
- Meet the team
We are delighted, honoured and thankful to have been named Recruitment Agency of the Year at the recent MCV/DEVELOP Awards.
The Amiqus team and friends gathered at the Lancaster Hotel, London a few days ago for a fantastic evening of celebration and networking. And the icing on the cake? We picked up another award.
While we have been fortunate enough to win a number of these awards over the past 20 years, we are never complacent, and these accolades mean the world to us– in particular this year. The past few months have been probably the most tough we can recall, with the industry going through a restructure and re-set, leading to the significant number of redundancies we’ve all read about in the media.
As a recruitment specialist in games, this has hit us hard, so we are so thankful to everyone who has continued to support us, and of course, to those who voted for us in these awards. We know it’s not just us who have been affected through this difficult period for the industry, so we’d like to wholeheartedly congratulate all of the other winners in the MCV/DEVELOP Awards, namely:
- Creative (Content) Partner of the Year – Liquid Crimson
