The sun is officially calling 🌞 and our CEO Barry Whelan has just delivered the best Monday message ever…To reward our hardworking team for everything they do, we’re finishing up at 3:30pm today and tomorrow and taking the office outdoors 😎

With Ireland getting its usual two days of actual sunshine, Barry decided there was only one thing for it… let the Excel team finish early from the office and work from home so everyone can make the most of it.

But don’t worry - it’s still business as usual! You can still call, text, or email your recruitment consultant with anything you need. Our team will remain fully connected while working from home and ready to help you with whatever you need - we're just replying with a sunnier view for the next two afternoons 😎 Safe to say… this might just be the best Monday message ever. Thanks Barry 🙌
