Talentedge Recruitment, a leading finance and HR recruiter founded in London 18 years ago, has set its sights on further expansion as it celebrates a fantastic first year for its North West office. 

Talentedge North, founded by Neil Whitaker and Abbie Smith in 2023, may have only been open for business for 12 months, but has already seen huge success, quickly establishing itself as the preferred supplier of finance talent for businesses across the region. 

Danielle Holly, who has over 15 years’ experience helping businesses hire accounting professionals, has been hired as director of the Lancashire team.

Her appointment marks an exciting next step for the team and signals the agency’s commitment to growing the business in Lancashire and beyond.

As the regional head, Danielle will be responsible for developing key client relationships and expanding their reach. With a background in finance recruitment since 2008, Danielle is well known for her recruitment expertise and is a trusted recruitment partner for hundreds of businesses she has worked with over the years.

Danielle said: "I'm thrilled to join the Talentedge team and excited about the opportunity to contribute to the growth of such a dynamic and innovative brand.

"I look forward to leveraging my experience to help expand our presence in Lancashire, build strong relationships with clients, and continue to deliver exceptional recruitment solutions that drive success for both businesses and professionals."

Before joining Talentedge, Danielle held several leadership roles within recruitment firms, where she successfully managed teams, developed client strategies and provided bespoke recruitment solutions.

Her experience spans many sectors including accounting, financial services, and business advisory roles, allowing her to understand the unique needs of clients and candidates alike.

Simon Samuel, CEO of Talentedge said: “Abbie and Neil are a hugely talented leadership team and have exceeded all our expectations over the last year. With the addition of Danielle Holly, another incredibly experienced senior recruiter with fantastic drive and ambition, 2025 is set to be a year of growth and expansion for Talentedge North. 

To further signal its support for local companies, Talentedge North is also sponsoring The Red Rose Employer of the Year award for 2025.

Neil Whitaker, managing director of TalentEdge North said: “We are incredibly passionate about promoting local employers and helping them hire finance teams that drive growth – so sponsoring this award is both an incredible honour and an opportunity for us to champion local business.”
