Hello!
February was a big month for Kensington360, marked by the exciting launch of our brand new website. Designed to bring everything together in one place, the new platform makes it easier than ever to explore our specialist sectors, discover opportunities and stay up to date with the latest industry insights. From a streamlined job search to a brand-new Content Hub, it’s a major step forward in how we connect with clients and candidates.
Alongside this, we celebrated some fantastic team achievements. Rebecca Hodson was named Employee of the Month for her outstanding contributions across marketing, recruiting and the ongoing rebrand, while our Q1 High Flyers enjoyed a well-deserved evening out in Manchester to recognise their hard work and results.
In the wider market, February has seen rapid developments across Industry 4.0, particularly within defence, advanced manufacturing and AI-driven production. From evolving global supply chains to breakthrough technologies, the demand for specialist talent continues to grow.
It’s was a month of progress, recognition and momentum and we’re just getting started.
This month we launched our brand new website. 🌐
After months of planning and development, the new Kensington360 site is officially live. The goal was simple. Create a space that makes it easier to explore our sectors, discover opportunities and access the latest industry insight.
The new site brings together everything in one place, including dedicated sector pages across Additive Manufacturing, Metrology, Aerospace & Defence, Advanced Materials, Engineering, Robotics & AI, Machine Tools and MedTech.
You will also find a much more streamlined jobs search, a refreshed About Us page and a new Content Hub featuring industry updates, hiring insight and case studies.
If you have not had a chance to explore yet, you can take a look here:

We have also created a full website guide on our YouTube channel that walks through the new navigation and key sections of the site, just in case you want a quick tour. Not that you will need it of course.

Kensington360 Q1 High Flyers Evening 🎉
This month we also celebrated our Quarter 1 High Flyers, bringing the team together for a well deserved evening out in Manchester.
To mark the occasion, our High Flyers headed to The Cut & Craft for a fantastic meal before continuing the celebrations at NQ64, where the competitive spirit definitely came out on the arcade games. Safe to say there were plenty of laughs along the way.
It was a great way to recognise the hard work and results delivered across the first quarter, and to spend some time together outside the office.
You can check out a few photos from the evening above.
A big shoutout to our Q1 High Flyers 👏 See the full post here
Employee of the Month: February 🌟
We are also pleased to share that Rebecca Hodson was named our Employee of the Month for February.
Over the past month, Becca has played a key role across both marketing and recruiting, while also helping to keep momentum behind the Kensington360 rebrand. From supporting the team with day to day priorities to stepping in wherever needed, her proactive approach and positive attitude have made a real impact across the business.
As part of the recognition, Becca also had the first spin of our brand new K360 wheel, freshly redesigned to match our new branding and colours. Her spin landed on event tickets, a well deserved prize.
