TWO OF Worcester’s leading recruitment firms have merged in a deal to expand and provide more specialist staff for businesses across the county.
Workforce Recruitment, which has nine branches across the West Midlands, recently announced its merger with Worcester-based Peach Recruitment – a jobs specialist in the public and professional service sectors.
The deal will see Peach Recruitment’s employees relocating from their Pierpoint Street offices to Workforce’s new recruitment centre on Foregate Street.
Founded in 2002, Peach Recruitment is a leading provider of non-medical and non-clinical staff for the NHS, whilst Workforce Recruitment specialises in supplying staff for sectors including logistics, transport, professional services, office and food manufacturing.
Paul Alekna, Workforce Recruitment’s CEO, said: “Peach Recruitment is a widely respected and trusted business. Firms across the professional services and medical industries rely on it time and time again to provide the best quality people.
“What made the merger really exciting for us is that both businesses share the same vision and values – putting clients at the centre of everything we do.
“We have ambitious growth plans over the next few years, so the merger allows us to create more opportunities and add further value to clients with the contacts and expertise Peach bring.”
Sarah Mayo-Evans, Peach Recruitment’s managing director, said: “Workforce is a large and well-connected company and the merger will provide a bigger and better team for our clients.
“It’s a win-win for us, our clients and the jobs sector in Worcestershire.”
