As we reach the end of another successful year, December is the perfect moment to reflect on everything we’ve achieved throughout 2025. It’s been a year filled with growth, community involvement, brilliant team milestones, and strengthened partnerships across the construction industry. Here’s a look back at what has made this year so memorable for FBR Recruitment.
Supporting Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance – Our Charity of the Year
One of our proudest achievements in 2025 has been partnering with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as our Charity of the Year. We set out with a fundraising target of £4,000, but thanks to the amazing efforts of our team and supporters, we exceeded this goal, raising an incredible £4,973 so far.
Our fundraising highlights included:
- Our first ever Charity Golf Day, which was a huge success.
- A team 18km walk from Hengistbury Head to Bournemouth Pier and back.
- Monthly bake-offs and our competitive pool tournament.
- Our director, Tom completing both the New Forest Marathon and the Bournemouth Marathon, with two more planned next year in Cyprus and Santa Pola.
- The team signing up for an 8km trail run around Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
We’re incredibly proud of the dedication shown by everyone involved and grateful to those who donated and supported us throughout the year.
Welcoming New Faces to the FBR Team
This year we were delighted to welcome three fantastic new team members who have each made a brilliant impact:
- Tiffany Kinsey, Recruitment Consultant for Housing Developers
- Sam Blythin, Recruitment Consultant for Main Contracting
- Kinga Kot, Resource Consultant
They’ve all settled in seamlessly, adding fresh energy, expertise, and passion to the team. We’re excited to see their continued growth in 2026.
Recognition at the REC Awards
A standout highlight of 2025 was being shortlisted for “Best Company to Work For – Under 20 Employees” at the REC Awards. We had a fantastic team night in London celebrating the achievement and recognising the hard work that goes on behind the scenes every day.
This shortlist is a testament to our culture, team spirit, and commitment to continuous improvement.
Strengthening Relationships with Clients & Candidates
Throughout the year, we have continued to deepen our relationships across the construction industry. We’ve placed many candidates in roles perfectly suited to their skills and aspirations and supported numerous sites and clients with reliable, high-quality skilled workers. Visiting client sites has helped us better understand project needs and requirements, allowing us to provide tailored recruitment solutions for niche roles. We also offer ongoing support for candidates’ post-placement, from training advice to career guidance and performance check-ins.
We’re grateful for the trust placed in us and look forward to further strengthening these partnerships in 2026. Our commitment remains the same: to deliver honest, reliable, and effective recruitment solutions for every role.
Growing Our Online Presence & Industry Insights
Our social media channels have been busier than ever this year. We’ve shared:
- Industry updates and FBR business insights
- Consultant spotlight months, including sector-specific infographics
- Video interviews and Q&As
- Job role tips and guidance
These initiatives have helped clients and candidates gain a clearer understanding of who we are, how our consultants work, and the value we bring to the recruitment process.
Celebrating Milestones & Supporting Our Team
At FBR, our people are at the heart of everything we do. In 2025, we have:
- Celebrated employee milestones, anniversaries, and birthdays
- Supported learning, development, and upskilling across the team
- Hosted our first FBR Family & Friends BBQ, bringing everyone together for a day of fun, connection, and celebrating our achievements
Building a strong internal culture continues to be one of our top priorities and 2025 has been a brilliant example of what we can achieve together.

In the modern workplace, the term “company culture” has become closely associated with flashy perks like free fruit, ping pong tables, and coffee machines. While these amenities might boost morale in the short term, they often miss the mark when it comes to building a truly healthy work environment. To foster a culture that genuinely supports and motivates employees, companies need to dig deeper and focus on what really matters. This is especially true in industries like construction, where the nature of work differs significantly from the typical office setting. Here’s a fresh perspective on what company culture should encompass, with a focus on how to create a more meaningful impact in construction workplaces.
