2017 WHERE IT ALL STARTED

​APRIL
Every great story needs a beginning and, for us, that was April 2017 when Tempting Ventures opened its first London office and announced a minority investment from Hydrogen Group.

AUGUST
We launched our first brand, Tempting Talent, which focuses on the US Recruitment to Recruitment market.

SEPTEMBER
We invested in our second business, RO. As a start-up, RO began with a laser-like focus on the US Solar industry.

NOVEMBER
After two successful start-up launches, we shifted strategy and supported a management buyout of UK-based Uniting Ambition which are specialists in the UK tech sector. We helped Management to restructure and narrow the focus of the business, increasing profitability and presence across defined technology verticals.

FEBRUARY
Tempting Talent opened an office in New York to support their growing client base and hiring demands from within the Portfolio.

MARCH - DECEMBER
As Covid-19 hit global markets, we collated all the expertise within the Portfolio and adapted our processes, technology and marketing behaviours to ensure we could still maintain our high levels of delivery to clients and candidates. After weathering the storm, we came out the other side a better business. We're super proud that across our Portfolio we were able to maintain 90% headcount for this period.
