Speaking to Recruiter last month, White revealed his agency had set its sights on a London launch as well as a new construction division.

In a statement, released yesterday, the firm revealed specialist Lakhvir Kumar has been brought on board to lead a new property and construction division, which will focus on quantity surveying, eventually recruiting into project management and site management. 

And speaking to Recruiter this morning, White explained that while he regards construction - particularly in the Midlands - as a hot sector right now, the agency's latest move followed an approach by experienced construction recruiter Kumar.

The Apprentice winner’s links with fellow contestant Michaela Wain, who runs a construction magazine, is also a bonus in terms of marketing the new division, he explained.

But White told Recruiter he is prepared to look into working with any consultant with a strong business plan that he feels he can add value to.

“If I can see us adding a value to an individual, there’s no reason why we wouldn’t look at something,” he said.

“The one thing that we can do, is at the moment we do have a lot of exposure and PR. Lord Sugar can introduce us to a lot of contacts. With all of that, there are lot of things they maybe wouldn’t get somewhere else that we can offer them in the immediate term.”
