Global recruiter Antal International has acquired finance and office support recruiter Parkside Recruitment from talent management group Ochre House.

Parkside, which has offices in Staines and Uxbridge, working with clients in West London, Surrey and the Thames Valley region, provides permanent and temporary recruitment and resourcing solutions to the accountancy & finance and office professionals markets.

Antal group managing director Graeme Read says: “Parkside is a completely logical fit with our existing operations in the UK and will allow us to further strengthen our offering in both the finance and office support sectors with the Parkside brand.

“We are great believers in the value of acquisitions and joint ventures to supplement our organic growth, both in the UK and around the world and are always on the lookout for the right opportunity. We very much look forward to working with the team at Parkside and helping them grow their brand further.”

Parkside Recruitment managing director, Mike Ryall, adds: “I am delighted Parkside is joining the Antal Group and we look forward to working closely with Tony, Graeme, Paul and the team to further enhance our brand. This move presents significant opportunity for the business to grow and for our people to develop their careers in an exciting and expanding organisation.”
