Danny Done | Chief Executive officer
1988 Humble Beginnings
Portfolio Payroll Ltd was founded in 1988 by two visionary co-founders, laying the groundwork for a specialist recruitment agency focused on payroll.
2003 A New Era of Leadership
In 2003, Danny Done, our current CEO, acquired Portfolio Payroll Ltd. At the time, it was a boutique recruitment agency in Shoreditch, staffed by just six employees. Despite its modest size, Danny recognised its immense potential, captivated by an impressive client base that included globally recognised names like Guys NHS, Microsoft, and Bloomberg. This vision catalysed our journey to becoming a market leader in payroll recruitment.
2007 Expanding Horizons with Portfolio HR & Reward
Within just four years, Portfolio HR & Reward was established to meet the growing demand from our payroll clients, many of whom were HR professionals. Originally branded as CBR (Compensation, Benefits & Reward), this division was a natural extension of our strong client relationships, paving the way for deeper engagement with the HR sector.
2008 Innovation During Economic Challenges
The global recession of 2008 presented an opportunity to diversify once more. Responding to demand from our loyal clients—many already managing payroll—we launched our Credit Control division. This strategic move positioned us as one of the few specialist recruitment leaders solely dedicated to the credit marketplace.
2012 Diversifying into Procurement and Supply Chain
Recognising the potential in the procurement and supply chain sectors, we secured a highly skilled recruitment consultant to lead this new division in 2012. Leveraging our established relationships with global clients across manufacturing, FMCG, and retail, we expanded our expertise into this critical back-office function.
2018 Establishing a Northern Presence
To better serve our clients across the North of England, we launched our Manchester office in 2018. This expansion allowed us to extend our reach to major cities such as Liverpool, Leeds, and Newcastle, supported by strong regional infrastructure and partnerships.
2023 Going Global
In 2023, Portfolio Payroll took its expertise international, launching Portfolio Payroll Canada in Toronto. After a thorough assessment of the market, we identified an opportunity to bring our industry-leading knowledge to the under-served payroll sector in Canada. This bold step marked the beginning of our global footprint, signalling the next chapter in our story of growth and innovation.
2024 and Onwards
Our journey is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, our ability to adapt to market needs, and our passion for delivering unparalleled service to our clients. From humble beginnings to an international presence, Portfolio has grown to be a trusted leader in specialist recruitment, driven by a relentless pursuit of success.
I have worked for Portfolio for over 10 years now and I honesty can’t imagine working anywhere else.
The people make this company what it is and working for someone who cares so much about it pushes you to care just as much and work harder to achieve the company’s goals as well as your own.
I have worked at Portfolio for over 7 years, and have worked my way up from Resourcer to Senior Business Manager.
The business has given me so many opportunities to help with my progression, from bespoke training to access to knowledgeable experts in both payroll and recruitment. I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else.
I have been with Portfolio for just over 5 years now and am proud to work with a company that goes above and beyond to recognise the work you put in. I feel valued and have been rewarded for my successes throughout my time here and the business.
I am excited for the journey of the company and having the opportunity to be part of Portfolio’s growth.
Portfolio has supported me by building my confidence to be a successful consultant with the on-going training provided by an industry expert coach. It’s helped me build on existing skills and turn my weaknesses into strengths.
In a short period of time, I’ve gone from being a good recruiter to now smashing my targets and being promoted to a leadership position where I lead & mentor a small team which was a massive goal for me when joining the business.
For those with an appetite, there are plenty of opportunities to progress up the career ladder whether you fancy yourself in management or as top biller – the sky is the limit!
