It started as just one man, a telephone, and an ambition: to unite people with life changing industries.
Whilst our mission hasn’t changed over the past 30 years, plenty of other things at Quanta have. As April 6th, 2022, marks our 30th birthday, join us in our nostalgia as we look back at the journey we have taken as a company in the past three decades.
How It Started
In 1992, Stephen Trigg, founder and Chairman, set up shop in our first Quanta office – a room above the garage of his family home. Long before the days of accessing the internet with the tap of a finger, Quanta’s recruitment story began with a pen, a notebook, and a telephone.
For three years, Quanta remained a lone venture. But as Stephen began making a name for himself as a dedicated, skilled, and loyal recruitment consultant, his client and candidate portfolio grew, along with a need to expand the workforce. In 1995, Quanta head office made their very first hire.
The Quanta journey initially began within the industries of banking, finance, and mobile telecoms. As the 90s gave rise to the mobile phone, Quanta got a foothold in the recruitment sector that would soon see them burgeoning down a path of success.
How It’s Going
Our recruitment focus expanded in the early 2000s to focus on Life Science (Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceuticals), Renewable Energy and Data Centres, joining our IT function. Since then, we haven’t looked back. In fact, we have placed over 60,000 candidates in our time!
We’re constantly evolving at Quanta, adapting to the current market and the needs of our ever-growing business. As such, we’ve had many different ‘looks’ through the years (thankfully, not the famous 90s mullet…) Take a look at how our colourful journey is reflected in our logo evolution:
