Read the full storyTOG started in Peterborough in 2004 with a small team and a simple idea: that recruitment is a people business, done best by specialists who stay in their sector long enough to know it properly.
More than two decades on, we've grown into four offices across the East of England and Home Counties. We recruit for finance leaders, HR directors, engineering managers, tech founders, scientists, and the commercial teams that keep businesses running day to day. Between us, we've built up over 258 years of collective recruitment experience across our specialist divisions, and a network of more than 150,000 candidates we've placed, coached, or come to know across two decades in the region.
The founding principle hasn't changed. Recruitment as it should be.
Our first office launches with a team of six on Lynch Wood. Cambridge follows the same year, giving us two offices before our first anniversary.
Our third office opens with a team of five, quickly growing to eleven consultants covering the wider Midlands region.
The team has outgrown the founding office. We move into Arena House on Lynch Wood, big enough for a growing consultant base and the back-office team that supports the whole group.
Our second office relocates to Cambourne Business Park, giving the growing Cambridge team the space it now needs.
The Hertfordshire & Essex office opens in Potters Bar, extending our footprint into the Home Counties.
In the same year, we're named Business of the Year in Northamptonshire, and Employer of the Year in both Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire at the regional SME Business Awards. Three counties, three panels.
Four offices, more than 258 years of collective recruitment experience across our specialist divisions, and a network of over 150,000 candidates.
Same founding principle.
We're specialists, not generalists. Every consultant at TOG focuses on one sector and stays in it. Not because it's the only way to do recruitment, but because it's how you build the depth to spot the difference between a strong CV and a strong hire.
It's also why so many of our clients come back to us years, even decades, after a first placement.
Beyond the recruitment itself, we produce annual salary guides, regional market reports, and the practical resources our clients and candidates turn to when they want a clearer view of what's happening in their sector.
We stay interested in the market we work in, and in the people who work in it.
We remember your kids' names and know how you take your coffee. That's just how we work here.
We're here to help people build careers they love and businesses they're proud of.
Recruitment is a career, but it should be fun too. If it isn't, we've done something wrong.
