VANARATH have proudly supported the Northern Ireland Children\'s Hospice since 2014 and are founding members of the \'Time To Care\' initiative.

\xe2\x80\x8bWe recognise the importance of social responsibility and giving back which is why we continue to support the Northern Ireland Children\'s Hospice through internal fundraisers, charity events and unique initiatives. At the beginning of our partnership, VANRATH became the founding members of the \'Time to Care\' programme which funds the salary of a Senior Staff Nurse and creates the opportunity for up to 30 businesses in Northern Ireland to show their support

Barbara McKiernan, Managing Director of VANRATH spoke about the initiative:

"As the leader in the professional recruitment sector in Northern Ireland, we take our corporate social responsibility seriously - we saw an opportunity with the Children\'s Hospice to build a strong, on-going partnership, which delivers tangible benefits to the children who need it most within our own community.

"We\'ve been delighted to welcome one of the nurses to our offices in Belfast, where her experience and knowledge really resonated with our staff, and helped us understand the ways in which the Northern Ireland Children\'s Hospice is a lifeline to so many children and families locally.

\xe2\x80\x8b"We hope our collaboration with the Children\'s Hospice will not only give them much needed support, but also inspire other businesses to support then in this initiative, to help contribute in a real way to enable them to deliver their vital services."\xe2\x80\x8b

Over the years, we have worked with the best clients and candidates in the Northern Ireland market and carried out recruitment campaigns for some of the best-known names in the world of business

Some of our Proudest moments of the last 23 Years

\'Time to Care\' is a unique partnership opportunity for up to 30 businesses in Northern Ireland, to part fund the annual salary of a qualified children\'s nurse at the Children\'s Hospice. We have since worked closely to support the hospice through many fundraising campaigns over the years, raising significant funding for their vital work.

Later in the year, we secured a significant stake-holder investment from prominent Mercedes business owner and property investor Neil McKibbin FCA. With this investment came the purchase of Victoria House in Belfast City Centre by Wayne and Neil, in a \xc2\xa312.5 million deal, allowing the company to move into brand new state of the art offices and continue their ambitious growth plans.

We have transitioned from a team of 3 accountancy focused consultants to a team of 30 sector-specific consultants covering a diverse range of sectors. Building successful careers and supporting our clients with the best talent in the market is at the heart of everything we do. We are driven by a passion to help people build careers that meet their goals, and help businesses achieve success through great and strategic talent.
