Fri, 10 Jan 2014Recruiters in the industrial, logistics and construction sectors are strongly represented in this year’s FAST 50, the 50 fastest-growing private recruitment companies, prepared by Boxington Corporate Finance and sponsored by ICS, making up 14% of the FAST 50 2014 list.

In the first of a series of articles, ranking the growth performance of FAST 50 companies across a range of different sectors, Mark Kingston, assistant director at Boxington, tells Recruiter that the position of industrial, logistics and construction recruiters in the 2014 FAST 50 list has been “hard earned”.

Industrial, logistics and construction recruitment companies in the FAST 50 2014:

1. Assist Recruitment

2. Industrious

3. Contract Scotland

4. PPF

5. Templine

6. Gap Personnel

7. Tulloch Recruitment

“These recruiters are the standout winners in a brutally competitive market, where success is hard-earned. Some have benefitted from smaller dropping out of the market as a result of legislation, margin and compliance pressure, not least from AWR [Agency Workers Regulations],” says Kingston.

Over the next week, recruiter.co.uk will be revealing the names of the UK’s most dynamic and fastest growing recruitment businesses across a range of key business sectors, as we build up to announcing which company has come out on top in January’s issue of Recruiter, out next week.

In this video, Tim Evans, Boxington Corporate Finance, explains how the Fast 50 2014 encapsulates the fiercely competitive nature of the UK’s recruitment industry, as companies of all shapes and sizes battle for supremacy.
