Education recruiter Connex Education has opened a new Leeds office.

The staffing firm currently has a branch network incorporating offices throughout the North-West, East and West Midlands.

Mark Beedles, managing director at Connex Education, says: “We enjoyed a hugely successful 2008 and intend to be even more successful in 2009. The opening of our Leeds branch will enable us to offer our service to even more schools and nurseries throughout Yorkshire.”

He went on to say: “I’m confident that the excellent team we have recruited in Leeds, combined with the knowledge, experience and values already in place within Connex, will see the new office prove to be a huge success.”
