Diverse supplier

We are certified women-owned and independent.

At Principle, we are dedicated to fostering diversity and innovation. We believe embracing supplier diversity is essential to accessing a broader, more dynamic talent pool.

Our journey began with Audrey Hughes, a seasoned professional passionate about transforming the recruitment landscape. Audrey founded Principle with a clear vision: to prioritise people and cultivate trusted partnerships that drive success. Today, we stay true to that vision by remaining intentionally independent and agile, allowing us to deliver innovative solutions and make swift, informed decisions that benefit our clients and candidates.
