About us.

Our Story

The Greenacre Group was founded in 2011 by Dan Short & Joseph Grice.  With their combined extensive experience working for a large corporate recruiter, they realised there was space to do things differently, and better.

Our roots

From a small office in the heart of Hitchin, this focus on quality, transparency and customer experience started to bear fruit and word started to spread.  The Greenacre brand has since been growing organically thanks to this balanced, strategic and customer-focussed approach.

Our reputation

Still holding true to those initial principles, we are now a team of 25 committed individuals, with a recognised nationwide presence at all levels. From officer to CEO, Governance & Board, Greenacre has impacted thousands of people through our recruitment, personal development, advice/guidance and trusted partnerships.

Our Future

Dan and Joseph still play a key role is setting the tone but have recently moved into a Board/Advisory role to give room for development for others in the business.  This commitment to its people and their success and development is another guiding principle at Greenacre and is key to the longevity of many of our staff team.

What does the future hold?  

Continuous, steady, calculated growth with a commitment to delivering outcomes that our clients and candidates have come to expect.  We’ll continue to work hand in glove with the sector, responding to industry demands, adding exceptional value for which we've become known.  Watch this space!
