Looking Back on 2025: A Year of Purpose, Progress and People

As 2025 draws to a close, we’ve taken a moment at Tile Hill to pause, reflect, and look back on what has been a hugely meaningful year for our team. It’s been a year defined not just by growth and recognition, but by purpose, a shared commitment to doing the right thing, supporting causes that matter, and continuing to put people at the heart of everything we do.

Giving Back
Supporting charitable causes is something we take great pride in at Tile Hill, and in 2025 we were honoured to support two incredibly important charities: Endometriosis UK and Alzheimer’s Society.

Together, we raised nearly £5,000 for these charities, a fantastic achievement, but the impact of this year has gone far beyond fundraising alone.

A huge part of our journey has been education. Through team sessions, charity-led talks and open conversations, we’ve had the opportunity to deepen our understanding of both endometriosis and dementia, conditions that affect millions of people, often quietly and without enough awareness. Hearing directly from the charities, learning from their expertise, and creating space for honest discussion within our team has been invaluable.

As always, our fundraising efforts brought us together, whether through team quizzes, physical challenges, team initiatives or overcoming our fears - reinforcing how powerful it can be when people unite around a shared cause. We’re incredibly grateful to Endometriosis UK and Alzheimer’s Society for working so closely with us and for the vital work they do every single day.

A Year of Recognition and What It Really Means to Us
2025 was also a standout year in terms of recognition. We were shortlisted for 10 industry awards, bringing home wins and high commendations that we’re extremely proud of.

We were absolutely thrilled to win Public / Third Sector Recruitment Company of the Year and Agency Recruitment Team of the Year at the British Recruitment Awards, as well as seeing our founder, David Weir, highly commended as Business Leader of the Year at the REC Awards.

Perhaps most meaningful of all was being voted Number One in the IIM Survey earlier this year. This recognition matters deeply to us because it’s rooted in what we care about most: candidate experience.

Being recognised by the IIM is a reflection of the trust candidates place in us, the care we take at every stage of the recruitment journey, and the belief that people deserve transparency, respect and support - whether or not they ultimately secure the role. Candidate experience isn’t just something we talk about; it’s central to who we are, and this award is a powerful affirmation of that commitment.

Growth, Gratitude and Looking Ahead
Alongside awards and fundraising, 2025 has been a year of continued growth -  across new markets, evolving specialisms, and within our team itself. None of this happens in isolation.

We’re incredibly thankful to our clients for trusting us as partners, to our candidates for choosing to work with us, and to our wider network for supporting us along the way. Most of all, we’re proud of our team, for their integrity, their curiosity, their compassion, and their unwavering commitment to doing recruitment differently.

As we head into 2026, we do so with gratitude, ambition and a renewed sense of purpose. If this year has reinforced anything, it’s that when values lead the way, everything else follows.

Thank you for being part of our journey, here’s to another year of impact, connection and positive change.
