What's in a Name?

How did we decide on Encore for a name? It's a question we hear often.

One Friday night, with a gin and tonic, we let the ideas flow. We wanted a name that felt like home—something personal with roots in happy memories. Finding the right name wasn't as easy as we thought.

Paul asked, "What about the names of horses you've ridden?"  

Lucy took a moment to reflect. "Aria, Sam, Drama…Encore." Her face lit up. "Encore. I loved her. I hadn't ridden in a decade and was terrified, but she knew what to do. She steadied me, gave me confidence, and made me feel I could achieve anything. Encore was my star." As I step out of a 20-year chapter at my last employer and onto a new stage, I guess you could say I'm having my encore—a return to the spotlight, but on my terms."  

Paul grinned, raised his glass, and said, "Encore Recruitment Limited?" Lucy smiled back. "Why not? Cheers to that!"  

Encore represents the spirit of resilience, the courage to step back into the spotlight, and the belief that everyone deserves a chance. It's a name that embodies our commitment to helping individuals and businesses find their 'encore' moments.
