Kelly Cartwright — Core Recruiter

Kelly Cartwright is the owner and director of Core Recruiter in Norwich, a recruitment agency for the construction industry.

While many agencies focus on filling vacancies and chasing short-term placements, Kelly recognised an opportunity to build something more valuable: a business that construction companies genuinely rely on to keep projects moving.

Kelly empowers her team to make decisions, take ownership and act quickly in the best interests of clients, who praise Core Recruiter’s responsiveness, professionalism and ability to deliver when others cannot.

The judges said: “Kelly has grown Core Recruiter Ltd from scratch to become a multi-million turnover business, based on a crystal clear vision and resolute focus on a clear target market.”
