BDS to recruit 37 ARs

The network's current total of ARs stands at 148 after adding 53 firms in 2007.

BDS plans to expand its services over the next twelve months, as well as building strong relationships with ARs, both existing and new.

“We have grown at a steady rate since setting up the network and the vast majority of this growth has come simply from recommendations and referrals from existing AR firms and our website," explained Bob Hope, BDS' head of sales and network.

He said that the firm were taking a rather bullish approach to future potential even though the market is still quite tough for all concerned.

"The BDS proposition is about flexibility and quality. Firms have different objectives; we understand the fact that their needs can differ and believe that we are in a great position to fulfil all these wants and needs," he added.
