GAP PERSONNEL ACQUIRES EVEN MORE: 8th August 2008
One of the fastest growing independent recruitment firms, Gap Personnel, has acquired Dorset’s More Consultancy Group.
The deal is now the seventh of numerous acquisitions planned this year for the national recruitment specialist. It marks a significant addition for the company whose aim is to provide customers with industry leading expertise and to turnover £100 million by the end of 2012.
The successful Wimborne recruitment specialist was only established in 2002 by Adam Lynk and already turns over in excess of £2 million. It has made a name for itself specialising in recruiting for the Engineering, Technical, Call Centre, Legal and Industrial sectors throughout Southampton, Salisbury, New Forest, Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne, Dorchester and Weymouth. The team will now extend its offer to include Gap Personnel’s expert recruitment service in the additional Driving, Care, and Commercial sectors.
Lynk will continue to manage the office and the More team of eight will
now lead Gap Personnel’s Dorset branch operation. He said: “In
a relatively short space of time the team has worked tirelessly to be one
of the leading professional recruitment specialists in the area. We can’t
wait to accomplish even more with the support, experience and nationwide
network that Gap Personnel will provide the team and our clients.
“Our clients will now benefit from a national infrastructure support
services tailor-made for their industry by Gap Personnel. Being part of
this larger organisation also gives the team access to superior operational
and training support which will result in an even better service for all
our clients.”
The agency will continue to trade as More Consultancy, with the new suffix:
‘a division of Gap Personnel South’, and current clients and
candidates will experience the same high quality of service delivered by
the existing team, with the added benefits that come from being part of
a national industry-leading organisation.
Gary Dewhurst, Gap Personnel’s Owner and Managing Director, said:
“We have an ambitious expansion plan which will be achieved through
organic growth and acquisitions. We are dedicated to offering our clients
the very best nationwide recruitment service and More Consultancy’s
team, experience and location enables us to offer cutting edge efficiencies
to even more candidates and clients.”
The nationwide recruitment specialist leads the field through commitment
to excellent service, ethical trading, employee development and value for
money. The company has been recognised by being awarded:
• Recruitment Excellence Awards
• Investors in People
• Recruitment Employment Confederation – Gold Audited Status
• Gangmaster Licence
• National Business Awards
• National Training Awards
• and most recently Best Companies Guide recognised Gap Personnel
as one of the best companies to work for.
