About Us
Our Story
2019
With a recruitment career spanning over 2 decades and a passion for sports, Vijay Patel, Managing Director, decided to combine both.
Taking his 2 favourite sporting icons, F1 Lewis Hamilton, and Golf legend Tiger Woods, he launched Hamilton Woods Associates.
2020
HWA began to grow with the launch of its 2nd Division before the Covid Lockdown strikes! HWA reacts quickly, reducing its operations to a full remote model. Out of Lockdown, we launched HWA East Midlands and move to our new head office in Castle Donington and the launch of 2 further Divisions.
2021
A year of change and stability, a great half year performance which allowed further expansions and growth with 2 further Divisions, Housing & Property Services & Sales Support/Operations.
2022
A steady year with the launch of our 2nd office in Birmingham, focusing on Professional Services, Qualified and Executive Search. This year is a challenge as we look to stabilise our investment within a growth driven business, looking at our Marketing, Branding and Social Media presence to continue our growth plans into 2023.
