Celebrating Nottinghamshire Day 2023

Happy Nottinghamshire Day! 

Nottinghamshire Day, observed on August 25th, is a time to honour the rich history, culture, and innovation that our county embodies - Harper Recruitment Group have been recruiting in Nottingham and the East Midlands for over 35 years and we’re proud to be a locally-owned business.

Our team is celebrating by reflecting on their favourite things about our home as well as their favourite places and “Notts-isms”.

• Favourite Nottinghamshire word: buer - those from Newark will know!
• Favourite Nottinghamshire place: Binks Yard for live music and outdoor drinks
