SimkissGuy is passionate about living and working in the West Midlands.
Keen to support our business community, and advocates of the benefits that can be gained from developing robust business partnerships across the city, we are founders of several successful networking groups, or SimkissGuy Socials as they’re known.
Each event is aimed to bring together business professionals across a range of sectors, moving between different independent venues in our region to support the thriving hospitality sector in the West Midlands. If you would like more information on these, email our dedicated events inbox here.
Our Managing Director Rebecca Simkiss is recognised as a leader in the Birmingham business community, volunteering her time to undertake several external board positions to support and invest in the success of our region.
As such, Rebecca is Chair and Trustee of LoveBrum, a registered charity that supports hidden gem projects across Birmingham that are often volunteer led and that deliver real change for our region. The charity supports ‘hard-to-reach’ projects; those causes that do not receive the platform or funding that they probably deserve. Supporting over 36 projects per year, LoveBrum reaches out to all corners of our city and reminds people how great Birmingham is. Importantly, every penny raised from LoveBrum’s individual memberships and fundraising stays in Birmingham and goes straight to the chosen causes. By inviting LoveBrum projects to speak at our events, we encourage everyone to get involved and unite businesses and individuals across Birmingham. Find out more about LoveBrum here.
Rebecca is also a Board Member of West Midland’s Women’s Voice, a movement created to work together and support the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) in setting an agenda for economic growth and better social welfare – with the role of women central to this new political and economic forum. West Midland’s Women’s Voice represents cross-sector businesses as well as the arts – all wanting a say in WMCA strategy and all with a desire to ensure that the powerful voice of women is represented in the aim to drive jobs, prosperity and economic growth in the region.

I have worked with many recruitment companies in the past, and I can honestly say that the team at SimkissGuy is the very best I have ever come across.
Professional, helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. Every person I have spoken to has been a joy to work with. Thank you.
Hi Rebecca,
Without you and Richard, I wouldn’t be in the job I’m in now AND I also wouldn’t have my fantastic Assistant Rebecca either, so thank you soooooooo much and Happy Birthday SimkissGuy Recruitment!
Hi Helena,
Thank you so much for your advice, it is much appreciated and really helped me feel a lot better.
I am extremely excited about this brand new opportunity and it has still not settled that this is actually happening!
I want to thank you and the whole SimkissGuy team for everything over the past few months.
Best wishes,
Hi Becky,
Hope you are keeping well? Just reaching out to connect you with a friend of mine who is looking for a new role.
You were all amazing with me when I wanted to move on and placed me with this incredible company – been with them over 2 years now and I’ve never looked back since!
Good Evening Helena,
Thank you for considering me for the role, I’m truly grateful for your assistance and help in finding a new position.
I’m also happy to refer potential talent to you too if that’s ok with you?
Kindest regards,
Hi Both,
Thank you so much for reaching out and lovely to catch-up. I am very excited to start my new role on Monday, so thank you again for your support throughout!
All the best
Hi Becky, hope you’re doing well?
I just wanted to say thanks again for helping me land this role, I’ve just passed my full probation period and due my first bit of commission next month!
Have a great rest of the year
Hello Becky and Helena,
I just wanted to extend a thank you for the gift I received from your team yesterday! Very thoughtful, I appreciate it.
I am enjoying my time here so far and everyone has been very welcoming, so thank you again for your part in connecting me to this role.
Have a great week!
Hi Rebecca and Helena,
The team and I were very happy with the temporary candidate you found at such short notice for us, and have really enjoyed having her with us. We found her to be very pleasant, very professional, listened to what was asked of her and carried out the duties assigned to her.
Thank you for your support and we’ll be back in touch if we need additional resource.
Good morning Helena,
I hope you are keeping well?
Just wanted to reach out to say that one week in, everything is going well so far and I’m learning something new every day!
I also wanted to thank you for the brownies. They are so lovely and it made my first day a lot smoother with something sweet!
Many thanks for all your help
