Scottish multi-sector recruiter Brightwork has announced record turnover and profit in its fifth year of business.

It reached £24m in sales in the year to December and after tax profits total £750,000. The company operates in both temporary and permanent hires.

Founder and managing director Anthony Knight says: “The temporary employment market has always been more resilient and robust than the permanent, although we expect that to pick up as Scotland continues to buck the UK economic trend.”
