Supporting local charities and initiatives is an integral part of the SimkissGuy ethos.
We know that there are amazing people in our region who are all doing what they can to make our community the best that it can be. Supporting local charities and initiatives is an integral part of the SimkissGuy ethos, and as such all members of the team dedicate around one day a month to good causes.
We champion a number of third-sector organisations, who all do amazing work to help people across the region, not just through regular fundraising, but also by providing a platform for their causes to be heard by a new audience by speaking at one of our events.
Over the years, our MD Rebecca has held a number of high-profile leadership and Trustee positions with charities across the region, including spending 2 years as Chair and 6 years as a 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.
Never ones to shy away from an awards night or two, and having been the proud nominees and winners at a number of prestigious local business awards ourselves, SimkissGuy are also incredibly proud to have sponsored several leading Birmingham events, including the BPS Birmingham Future “Birmingham Young Professional of the Year Awards” for 5 years and LoveBrum’s annual “Curry King of Birmingham”, which look to showcase the city’s young talent and charitable initiatives respectively.
If you are a charity and would like to have the opportunity to speak to us about being showcased at one of our events, then we’d love to hear from you, please contact events@simkissguy.com.
Giving back, it’s important.
Good Evening Rebecca,
Thank you so much for the brownies, they were amazing.
My first day in the office was wonderful, everyone is really nice and made me feel welcomed.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate all your support.
Thanks again, I appreciate the support you have provided from start to finish
Thanks Helena, working with yourself and Becky has been a breath of fresh air.
You’re both very detailed and communication has been fantastic!
Thanks for your help so far and fingers crossed it’s good news!
Hi ladies,
Thank you so much for your kind words and warm congratulations on my promotion, I truly appreciate it! 😊
I appreciate all that you’ve done for me to get to this stage. I couldn’t have done it without you both!
Hi Becky
Just a quick note to say thank you for sending through some promising looking candidates 😊 It is great to be working again with a familiar, friendly face who is always reliable.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for the effort and expertise that SimkissGuy Recruitment has put into helping us identify a suitable candidate for this role. I am really pleased with who we are bringing on board and am looking forward to working with her to help develop the organisation.
Thanks you for all your help Helena, you were great!
I am really enjoying the role so far and I hope I’ll be happy for a long time here, but if there’s any searching in the future, I’ll be in straight back in touch.
Rebecca and Helena did an amazing job for us, way above and beyond – thank you!
Jessie (temporary candidate supplied by SimkissGuy Recruitment) has hit the ground running and is already making a real difference. She’s picked things up incredibly fast, and we’re already feeling the benefits of having her on board.
One of the things that really stands out about Jessie is how quickly she learns. She takes on new processes with ease and isn’t afraid to dive into challenges. Her proactive attitude and willingness to get stuck in have been a huge help to the team.
Recruitment is particularly tough at the moment, so having someone with Jessie’s positivity and strong work ethic is a real asset. She stays motivated, focused, and brings great energy, even when things get tricky.
Honestly, we couldn’t be happier with how she’s doing, and we’re excited to see her continue to grow in the role!
I met Rebecca Simkiss and Helena King at one of the lowest points in my life, just after leaving a job where I had become completely disengaged due to repeated mistreatment and discrimination. Feeling lost and uncertain about my future, I put my trust in them wholeheartedly—and I’ve never looked back.
Your kindness, dedication, and expertise helped me rebuild my confidence and secure my next role within weeks. Your unwavering support throughout the entire process—before applications, during applications, and through the sifting stage—made all the difference. You ensured I felt heard, valued, and that my needs were met. Even after I started my new job, you continued to support me.
You and Helena are more than recruiters—you are professionals who truly change lives and restore hope. You not only helped shape my life but did the same, selflessly, for everyone I recommended your way.
Although life has taken me in a completely different direction, I will always recommend your top-notch service, dedication, determination and high professionalism. Please don’t let anyone dim your sparkle or think they can shade your excellence.
