2. Who are Next Ventures is a rapidly expanding business that has
its sights set on becoming ‘The Technology Staffing
we? Partner of choice’ to key industry corporations, global
and local systems integrators, consultancies, software
vendors and technology vendors around the globe.
Our service is truly global – in 2011, 65% of our business was outside the UK.
We specialise in sourcing local talent internationally.
What makes us so different?
Our priority: adding value to each and every one of our clients. How?
• By building trust and respect through a true
partnership approach.
• By offering flexibility and bespoke tailoring of our
recruitment services to seamlessly fit your needs.
• By finding complete candidates – those who do not
just have the talent and knowledge you need, but
who also culturally complement your organisation
and your existing team perfectly.
To provide a solid foundation for our partnership ethos,
each consultant at Next Ventures focuses on one
specific technology niche. This continuously expands
their understanding of that particular area and allows
them to offer you unrivalled specialist expertise,
informed anticipation of market trends and superior
networking advantage.
But we didn’t pick our team just for their knowledge;
we also demand that they are passionate, resourceful
and deeply committed to exceeding your delivery
expectations.
Sound good? Well, perhaps that’s why
we’re rapidly becoming known as ‘the technology
recruiter that’s guaranteed to deliver’!

in the Virgin sponsored Sunday
first choice! Times, Fast Track 100 awards in
2009 and 2010, Next Ventures is
proud to announce it has again been listed in 2011 as one
of the fastest growing private companies in the UK.
The growth we have achieved means we are now in the privileged position of being the
first choice technology recruiter for some of the most exciting and innovative international
businesses of today.
This isn’t an empty boast. In 2001 Next Ventures deliberately adopted a strategic plan to concentrate on
generating a sizeable capital reserve to use for re-investment purposes when we felt the market dictated
growth. In 2006, we seized the opportunity and, as you can see, the results speak for themselves.
