Brunel proudly celebrates 50 years of delivering global workforce and project solutions

In 1975, Brunel was founded on a bold idea: to connect top-tier specialists to the world’s most groundbreaking projects. Today, that vision has become a global reality with a network of over 12,000 specialists across 120 locations in 45 countries, delivering the expertise needed to help businesses innovate, scale, and stay ahead. This milestone reflects Brunel’s enduring dedication to connecting exceptional talent with pioneering projects, driving progress and delivering sustainable value. To honour the moment founder Jan Brand sounded the ceremonial gong at Euronext Amsterdam.
