From the initial call to my making the decision to set up in partnership with SSG, no question was too big or small. I was under no pressure to accept their offer of partnering. For me it was 100% the right decision, it was something I had always wanted to achieve, but was scared! I was still scared, but the difference was, I could now run my own business and have all of the back office teams there to help me if I needed. People often say to me..... " if you have a partnership / investor" it means they call the shots and you don't own the company?... This couldn't be further from the truth. Buttons belongs to me, I run it my way, it's my business plan, it’s my vision! Our investors have a share in my business, but they have never interfered, they will offer guidance if I ask, they only ever want to help! I can't name everyone in this review, they have all been amazing! Thank you so much. I would recommend SSG Partnerships to anyone who has a proven track record, has a clear vision and passion and wants to run their own business, it is a simple process and you won't regret it!

In 2010, SSG helped me with the set up of Rhodium Consulting, looking after all things technical, financial and creative, leaving me to concentrate on the focus of the business; recruitment. During the earlier years they have been invaluable, assisting with advice on the growth of the business and answering any queries that I had regarding anything recruitment or business related. Fast forward and the ongoing technical and financial support has been a godsend. Instead of worrying about management accounts or trying to work out why my printer has just stopped working, I can get on with the challenge of recruiting in a difficult market! Thanks for everything SSG.

Director · Rhodium Consulting

SSG have been instrumental in allowing me to fulfil my ambition of cutting the corporate ties and launching my own agency. I'm still learning running a business but what SSG has allowed me to do is get on with what I'm good at and recruit. I would recommend to any recruiter looking to go it alone to take advantage of the expertise that SSG has within the industry.

We have been working in partnership with SSG for over a year now. The help and support that you receive from them is second to none. We have our very own dedicated Partner Support Manager who has been pivotal in terms of supporting us through the peaks and troughs in our business. Highly recommended!
