Kelly Caddy, a recruitment consultant from Falmouth, was named Newcomer of the Year at an awards ceremony held by Berry Recruitment Group (BRG) at the Bond in Motion exhibition at the London Film Museum.

The group has more than 30 branches and over 200 staff and Kelly’s efforts were noted by the board. Group chairman, Tony Berry, presented her with the trophy in front of a packed room at the venue.

Chris Chown, managing director of BRG, said: “Kelly has had a fantastic start to her career with us. Her efforts have been reflected in her billings which are superb for someone who is new to the role.

"As a group BRG has seen a fantastic start to 2017 with a 41 per cent increase in gross profit in January compared with the same month last year. And the February and March figures have followed that trend. There remains an extremely positive outlook and I sense confidence is growing.”
