We provide a quality service

Our mission is to be the most recommended supplier of Health, Social Care and Education staff in Wales and England.

We want to know what you like, what we are doing well and what we can do better and this is why we continued our twice yearly survey of our candidates, clientes and our own staff.
We sent our bi-annual survey
Firstly, the team here at Vetro would like to thank everyone who took part in our recent surveys. We sent them out to over 500 people and received a wonderful response from those who took the time to complete our questions and leave their feedback. As mentioned above, Vetro are dedicated to making sure that the service we provide to you is top notch and the candidates we provide to our clients are exceptional! That’s why we took the time to gather your opinions and provide you with the opportunity to leave us some ideas on how we can improve our offerings.
We are however, happy to say that the overwhelming majority of the feedback was positive so thank you all for your lovely comments. We have also had some suggestions on how we can do things a bit better and we are already taking that on board and putting into action!

Fast Growth 50 Winners
As you can see, 2019 has been a year of continued growth for Vetro Recruitment and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Our September nomination as a finalist in the prestigious Fast Growth 50 awards came to fruition with Vetro Recruitment winning the award for the Fastest Growing Business in Financial and Professional Services.
Being announced as one of the fastest-growing businesses in Wales was an incredible achievement that our whole team are proud of. We acknowledge that the FG50 award would not have been possible without the long term and continued support of our clients and candidates and for that, we are so very thankful.

We moved into two new offices
In September 2019 the Vetro team moved into their newest office, a 3500sq ft office based in the heart of Caerphilly. This office supports an ambitious growth plan and can accommodate up to 40 staff. The new office tripled our current interviewing capacity with six brand new interview rooms and a large training room which hosts our training sessions and group interview days. We are even able to offer our clients the ability to utilise these rooms for their interviewing needs.
Alongside this, our Southampton team moved into their new office space located in Fareham. This brand new office space celebrates the growth of the Southampton team and their own ambitious plans.

We are thrilled to be growing the Vetro team with such great talent.

The nursing team got a promotion
Alongside our overall team growth, we’ve also seen some of our seasoned consultants achieve promotions. Our now senior nursing recruitment consultant (Ethan Shide) has been promoted for his continued hard work and incredible results. Recognising achievements and celebrating this is at the heart of our ethos here at Vetro and Ethan’s promotion was well deserved.
The education team won our NPS accolade
This year, our Education team have worked harder than ever and have been recognised for this as Vetro is now an NPS accredited education recruitment agency and as such, have been given the accolade of having REC Gold Audited status. This accolade enables schools and education providers to be confident that they are using an accredited supplier, independently verified, putting high standards at the centre of their business.
We fundraised for BulliesOut
Outside of work the Vetro team have spent lots of time fundraising and raising awareness for our nominated charity - BulliesOut. This year we have raised almost £3000 for this amazing charity. Our team have taken on sponsored fasts (24 hours without food), a sponsored swear jar, organised bake sales, organised quiz nights, competed in static bike ride competitions, walked pen-y-fan five times in one day and have been to supermarkets collecting from the more than generous public.
