We are delighted to share that Everpool Recruitment’s Managing Director, Ged Walsh, has been named Recruitment Solutions MD of the Year 2026 (North West England) in the SME News Managing Director of the Year Awards.
Ged is also featured in the awards magazine, which recognises inspiring and high-impact managing directors from across the UK. The feature highlights his leadership journey, Everpool’s people-first culture, and the values that have helped our Liverpool-based recruitment business grow.
As Ged explains in the SME News feature: “There is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. Every person is different, and the key is adaptability.”
That belief shapes the way Everpool works. Clear communication, regular team touchpoints, collaborative decision-making, and an open environment ensure colleagues feel able to share ideas, discuss challenges, and contribute their knowledge. It also supports the consultative, tailored service we provide to every client and candidate.
An award shared by the whole Everpool team
Although this award recognises Ged’s leadership, it also reflects the commitment of the entire Everpool team. Since the business was established in 2021, our colleagues have worked together to deliver temporary and permanent recruitment solutions designed around each client’s needs.
At the heart of that work is a simple but important purpose: creating career opportunities for people while helping organisations grow. Every successful placement can make a meaningful difference to a candidate taking their next step, to a hiring manager building a stronger team, and to a business working towards its ambitions.
The magazine feature also highlights the supportive and enjoyable culture Ged has encouraged at Everpool. From sharing knowledge in the office to taking part in team activities and representing the company at local events, our culture is built around people who care about one another and take pride in what they achieve together.
Looking to the future
This recognition comes at an exciting stage in Everpool’s journey. Our ambition is to continue growing the business while protecting the high-quality, people-first approach for which our team is known.
We are incredibly proud to see Ged’s leadership recognised by SME News and pleased to see Everpool featured alongside outstanding businesses and leaders from across the UK.
Congratulations, Ged and thank you to every member of the Everpool team, as well as our clients and candidates, for being part of the journey.
