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.
Across the last 11 years, Rebecca has juggled running SimkissGuy alongside a number of leadership roles in charitable organisations that make a real difference in our region. As such, Rebecca has spent time as 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, as well as being Chair of the Regional Advisory Board for The Access Project, an education charity with a mission to help under-resourced young people place at top UK universities. Rebecca was also a Co-Founder and 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.
Wherever possible, we aim to use our platform to aid these and other fantastic charities and initiatives across our region by giving them the opportunity to speak at our events, encouraging our guests to get involved and unite businesses and individuals across Birmingham.
If you are a charity or non-profit in the region and would like the chance to speak at one of our upcoming events, then please do get in touch here, we would love to hear from you!
Thanks for reaching out.
As always we really appreciate your support, SimkissGuy have helped us add real quality so far this year so the minute we can work together again, I’ll be badgering you no doubt!
Speak soon.
Hi Rebecca
I just wanted to thank you for the chocolate brownies that were delivered on my first day, it was incredibly thoughtful. I also wanted to again thank you and the wider team for all of the support you have given me over this interview process.
If there is anything I can do to support SimkissGuy Recruitment please let me know.
One week in and Claire is brilliant and is doing really well.
Many thanks for the excellent calibre of candidates, as usual from SimkissGuy!
Good evening,
I’ve just got back from work and what a cracking first day! I felt very welcomed, everyone was thorough with me explaining where things are and no question was a silly one to ask. Everyone from all departments answered questions I threw at them. Literally every single person was so nice and welcoming. I’m so looking forward to getting stuck it and going back tomorrow!
On another note, what a lovely surprise to have received the brownies from you. Total shock and very much welcomed. And such a kind reassuring gesture from yourselves.
Honestly I cannot thank you enough for prepping me, and helping me get this job. My thanks seems nothing to how I feel.
But once again, thank you
SimkissGuy Recruitment have placed all of my staff over the past 10 years, need I say anymore about the quality they provide! I also use SimkissGuy for all of our temporary cover when I need it too.
Each person is well qualified before you meet with them and the process is seamless, so pleased that they are a nominated supplier.
Can’t recommend them enough to you!
Hi Becky,
Thank you so much for your email.
I have spent the time to read through all of the documents and I will make sure I am prepared for the initial telephone call tomorrow.
I also would like to thank you and Helena for supporting me through this process.
Kind regards,
Hi Rebecca
I’m very appreciative for the work and support you and Helena have provided throughout this process whilst I’ve been looking for a new role.
Really looking forward to joining the team!
Best regards,
Hi Helena and Rebecca,
I hope you are both doing well and have had a lovely week?
I had to reach out to thank you so much for the brownies. They were very lovely and they have helped with the first week whilst I get to meet new colleagues!
Many thanks once again!
Hi Helena,
Just wanted to update you that my first couple days have gone really well and just undergoing my induction and training at the moment. Thank you again for your support and for the brownies, I really appreciate it!
I have shared your details with a few friends who should be in touch soon.
Thank you very much for your support and effort throughout this interview process, I really appreciate it. Whilst I wasn’t successful this time, I look forward to hearing about future roles from you.
All the best and have a lovely evening and weekend ahead.
