Celebrating One Year of Success: Barrington James Tokyo Office Anniversary
Barrington James is thrilled to mark the first anniversary of our Tokyo office! Achieving this milestone during recent unprecedented times makes it even more special. Congratulations to Sejin Oh and the entire team for their hard work and dedication in making our first year in Japan a resounding success.
A Message from Sejin Oh, Country Manager
Reflecting on the journey, Sejin Oh shared, “When we opened the Tokyo office, Japan was in a state of emergency due to Covid-19, and uncertainty was everywhere. I knew I needed resilience to build our business step-by-step. Thankfully, I had strong support from our global offices, particularly from our HQ in the UK. Leveraging our global reputation, I could start assembling a high-performing team and create a robust network in the Medical Device sector.”
Growth and Expansion Plans
“One year on, we’ve grown into a much larger team, and with our early success, we’re planning to expand our Tokyo office further! Beyond sales results, what makes us a fantastic team is each member’s drive to achieve personal goals, fostering a healthy competition within the office. Looking ahead, we are excited about our growth plans for year two and are actively hiring passionate professionals eager to build successful careers in recruitment.”
Celebratory Words from Jonathan Jenkins, Group COO
Jonathan Jenkins, Group COO, also praised the Tokyo office’s achievements: “We’re delighted with the Tokyo office’s progress and our successful entry into the Japanese market. Recognizing the region’s immense potential, hitting every milestone in our first year reflects the strength of Sejin’s team. From the outset, our vision was a diverse workspace with a unique market presence. Our team now represents five different cultures and fluently speaks four languages—this diversity has been key to our talent attraction strategy, and we eagerly look forward to another year of growth. Happy first birthday, Japan!”
Looking Forward to Continued Success
With the momentum from the first half of 2022, we’re eager to see what’s ahead for our Japan office as we move into 2023. To meet our ambitious goals, we’re seeking talented individuals who want to advance their careers and join a high-growth, global organization.
