2017
2017 was another busy year for all. A particular highlight was supporting Young Parkinson’s Ireland, helping to raise awareness and funds through their community climb of Croagh Patrick in County Mayo. It was a cause close to our hearts and one we were proud to support.

2018 was a year of growth, achievement and giving back. Alongside celebrating Recruitment Apprenticeship successes and recognising high-performing team members, we enjoyed time together at company events, including a golf day.
We also proudly supported Parkinson’s UK, with Gabriel Kelly completing a 42km charity walk along Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast.

2022
Following a couple of disrupted years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 2022 saw the Hanson Regan team come back together and reconnect. From team socials, including Breakfast Club and Flight Club, to supporting charitable initiatives such as the Henley Mermaids’ fundraising efforts for Surfers Against Sewage, it was a welcome return to the events, community spirit and teamwork that have always been at the heart of Hanson Regan.

2025
As Hanson Regan approached its landmark 20th anniversary, 2025 was a year of celebrating the relationships, partnerships and people that have been at the heart of the business since 2006.
From marking the company’s 19th birthday together at Lingfield Park, to strengthening connections across the SAP community at UKISUG Connect, and concluding the year with a festive team gathering in London, the year reflected the strong culture, industry presence and collaborative spirit that continue to drive Hanson Regan forward.
2026
Our 20th Year
Twenty years on from its beginnings, 2026 was a year of reflection, achievement and celebration. Alongside marking Hanson Regan’s milestone 20th anniversary with team celebrations and a memorable evening at Mamma Mia! The Party, the year also highlighted what has always mattered most: people.
From welcoming a long-standing connection from the early days of Gabriel’s career to celebrating one of our young recruiters securing their first placement, 2026 perfectly captured the relationships, growth and shared success that have shaped Hanson Regan’s journey over the past two decades.
A message from our founders
Gabriel Kelly –
“When we started Hanson Regan 20 years ago, we had a simple goal: to build a recruitment business that put relationships first. Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, but even more proud of the people who have been part of the journey. To our clients, candidates, contractors, and team members, thank you for your trust and support.”
John Kelly –
“Reaching our 20th anniversary is a moment of real pride. Recruitment has changed enormously over the last two decades, but our focus on relationships, integrity, and delivering results has never changed. I’m thankful to everyone who has been part of our story and look forward to seeing what the next 20 years has in store.”
Supporting Our Communities
Community has always been at the heart of Hanson Regan. Throughout the years, we’ve been honoured to support charities, local organisations and sporting teams that mean so much to our colleagues, clients and extended Hanson Regan family. Whether cheering on Gaelic football teams, raising funds for important causes or tackling ambitious charity challenges, giving back has always been – and will continue to be – a proud part of our story.
The future
20 years is an incredible milestone, but for Hanson Regan it’s just the beginning. As the business looks ahead, the focus remains on growth, innovation and building lasting relationships with clients, candidates and partners across the SAP and technology community.
With a talented team, a strong foundation and exciting opportunities on the horizon, Hanson Regan is ready for the next chapter and all that it brings.
Here’s to the next 20 years.
