April 2025

Written By Oakstone International

This April, Oakstone partnered with several new SaaS companies, supporting them in securing top talent to fuel their growth. We marked Steve’s 20th anniversary with Oakstone with a competitive team day out, and we are very excited to welcome Libby Atkinson to the team!

Steve’s 20th Anniversary

Steve Farr, a cornerstone of Oakstone International, is celebrating an impressive 20 years with the company. Since joining in 2005, Steve has played a pivotal role in shaping Oakstone’s growth and success, becoming a trusted leader, mentor, and expert within the executive search industry. His two-decade milestone is a testament to his unwavering dedication, deep industry knowledge, and the lasting relationships he has built with clients, candidates, and colleagues alike.

To mark this special occasion, the Oakstone team headed to Thruxton for a day of go-karting on Friday. Although Steve didn't make the podium, it was the perfect way to celebrate Steve’s team spirit all in one!

Congratulations Steve!
