ATA Recruitment, which specialises in the manufacturing, engineering, technical sales and energy sectors, is opening an office in Switzerland.

ATA has recently obtained a licence enabling the company to recruit staff in and out of Switzerland.

Gary Hewett, managing director of ATA Verticals, says: “The opening of an office in Europe is the next step in our development and forms a key stage in our plan to expand within the international arena.”

ATA Recruitment has also recruited Adrian Mansfield to develop its new defence and aerospace division.

Mansfield heads ATA Defence and Aerospace, which supplies permanent and contract staff to the defence, aerospace and associated industry sectors, and already counts the Ministry of Defence and several leading industry companies among its clients.
