 "Since launching Shilton Sharpe Quarry in February 2003, we have worked hard to create a truly unique organisation. Of course, we have made some mistakes but I would be more concerned if we hadn't. It's the lessons that one learns along the way that count.

 "We remain committed to our founding values and to ensuring that we create a unique and unsurpassable recruitment experience. Our challenge is to ensure that we do not lose sight of where we have come from, no matter where we end up. I am adamant that we take nothing for granted, especially our people."
