A TEAM of recruitment consultants from Oxford picked up a major award for its use of social media.

Kathy Rusher, manager of Berry Recruitment in the city, received the award at a glittering ceremony in London.

The agency is part of Berry Recruitment Group (BRG) and the Oxford team beat more than 30 other branches.

The group has recently announced that its turnover last year rose to about £70m.

Managing director Chris Chown said: “The Oxford branch really have embraced what social media offers.”
