Wed, 4 Dec 2013A total of 23 staffing and recruiting firms are among fast-growing SMEs named on the London Stock Exchange Group’s of ‘1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain’.
Also making the list are five suppliers to the recruitment and human resources sectors.
A number of these firms will already be familiar to readers of Recruiter magazine and recruiter.co.uk, while others enjoy a little less public profile.
The list was put together alongside Growth Intelligence, based on a number of factors including headcount growth, number of patents filled, expansion of office space and revenue growth against peers.
Firms had to be UK-owned, show revenue growth in three of the last four years and have turnover of £6m-250m. In total, 3m companies were researched.
The staffing and recruiting firms on the list, broken down by region, are:
Scotland
• AAA Group
• Brightwork
North-West England
• Castlerock Recruitment Group
• The Desurvey Group
• Kinetic
• Kin-Tec
• Sellick Partnership
Wales
• New Directions
• gap personnel
East of England
• Berry Recruitment
• OSR Recruitment Services
South-West England
• Clarity Resourcing
Greater London
• First Point Group
• Human Capital Resources
• InterQuest Group
• Pathology
South-East England
• DRC Locums
• GCS Recruitment
While the companies are broadly spread across the UK, there is a tendency for annual revenue growth at the companies on the list to shrink the further they are from the South, ranging from 100% in the South-West and 99% in the East, to 69% in the North-West and 70% in Yorkshire & Humber.
The five suppliers to the sector on the list are umbrella company Liquid Friday, payroll firm Ship Shape Resources, three HR firms (AdviserPlus, HR Solutions and Streeters). And veering a little away from recruitment, heavy metal legends Iron Maiden also made the list.
