Recruitment firm looks to expand with move to Wellingborough
A recruitment company has expanded into Wellingborough to meet growing demand for its services.
Berry Recruitment, in Bridle Close, Finedon Road Industrial Estate, has grown its operations to widen its East Midlands’ catchment area.
Regional manager Rachel Murphy said: “With demand for our services expected to rise as lockdown eases, the team wanted to be ready to take advantage.”
The £74 million turnover company, previously based in Northampton, has also improved access to businesses in Kettering, Corby and Daventry with the branch’s driving, industrial and construction departments already seeing an increase as businesses increase their operations.
Ms Murphy said: “The expansion into Wellingborough made sense in many ways.
“We have room for expansion, can access the A14 corridor more easily and we are better placed to serve businesses in new locations.
“Other roles we provide staff for include those in office, professional and catering sectors, which are picking up but more slowly.
“Our branch has a reservoir of temporary workers ready to be deployed, and we are able to react quickly to our clients’ needs.
“One area we have seen interest in is ‘Covid chaperones’ – people who are able to manage queues and enforce social-distancing with a smile.
“We are part of a family-owned group and are able to call on assistance and expertise from other branches, which gives us a huge advantage.”
