Well the NRF Awards were a big success, for those of you not in the know NRF stands for National Recruitment Federation and this was the second year of the awards and hosted by the lovely Pamela Flood (below). They recognise excellence in the Recruitment industry across various different categories but more about that later!
The night itself was great fun, the whole team went in convoy on the train on Friday, it was on in the Ballsbridge (Berkley) Court Hotel and we had a blast - nice to put some faces to names and meet some clients we hadn't seen for a bit. I think everyone enjoyed the night but some winners excelled themselves with champagne flowing reminiscent of the Oscars which I guess the awards are if you are a recruitment agency. We had a great time boogying on the dance floor as evidenced below and supping jaegerbombs (very fast) at the bar!!
The night finished up in the bar with a singsong, Charlie's rendition of "Moondance" started it off and once Ronan and Diarmuid began with the Backstreet Boys greatest hits I think the night hit a peak (of sorts) - thankfully for you Rebecca's camera battery had run out so no photographic evidence!
