🎶 Celebrating 50 years of music, therapy, and impact...


We’re feeling truly inspired after our founder, stella walker, and executive Director David Johnston, attended the 50th anniversary celebration of Nordoff and Robbins at Coutts head office - joined by the charity’s dedicated team and key industry leaders who helped build and support its success.

50 years ago, Handle supported this amazing charity through Stella’s late brother, David Walker, who was on the founding committee, and we’ve long admired their transformative work.

“Throughout the night’s conversations, it was incredible to witness the impact of Nordoff and Robbins’ music therapy. I was genuinely moved to see so many long-time supporters and executives gathered in one room to celebrate the charity’s remarkable 50-year journey and discuss how to inspire the future generation to continue to grow the essential work they deliver." - Stella Walker

About Handle Recruitment

We opened the doors in 1978 and built our reputation in the music industry. We quickly realised that a great brand is not always a household name. A great brand is something people connect with, not just a place they work. Somewhere that helps them become better at what they do. It could be a record label, it could be in media, it could be a tech start-up.
