We’re over the moon to share that Robertson Sumner has won the “Services to the Channel” award at the 2025 CRN Channel Awards!

This is a huge moment for us – not just as a recruitment agency, but as a team that genuinely cares about driving the growth and success of the UK IT Channel. We’ve always believed our job is about more than just placing candidates. Whether it’s helping businesses build high-performing commercial teams, producing hundreds of Channel Chat episodes, or creating space for talent leaders to connect through The Recruitment Advisory Board, everything we do is designed to support the channel from the inside out.

“I’m absolutely buzzing about this win! We never set out to collect trophies; we set out to make a real impact in the IT channel. This award is proof that putting the community first works. From Channel Chat to The Recruitment Advisory Board, everything we’ve done is about bringing people together and driving the channel forward. To have that work recognized by CRN means the world to us, but let’s be clear: this is just the beginning; we’re more fired up than ever to keep innovating, keep connecting people, and keep pushing the UK IT Channel to new heights.” – Marc Sumner, CEO, Robertson Sumner

Channel Chat has been running for years now and has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined – shining a light on the people, stories, and strategies shaping the channel today. And with the recent launch of The Recruitment Advisory Board, we’ve taken that mission even further – offering senior talent leaders a space to share challenges, learn from each other, and rethink what great hiring looks like.

To have that work recognised by CRN is a real honour. A huge thank you to the judges and to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far. Our clients, candidates, podcast guests, panelists, and the wider channel community… we couldn’t do it without you.

We’re just getting started. Here’s to pushing the channel forward, together.
