The results reveal turnover of £48.6m, up from £41.9m in the previous year. Meanwhile gross profit rose 19.5% from £6.5m to £7.8m over the same period.

Commenting on the group’s performance, managing director Jo Sellick said: “Sellick Partnership has had another fantastic year, which is testament to the truly amazing team we have working across the UK. The recruitment market can be volatile at times of change and uncertainty, but our growth and our placement numbers are an indication of confidence returning to the UK jobs market.

“Our continued financial success and investment from Samsic is giving us a great opportunity to look further afield, and expand our current offering into new areas of the UK. The locations of these offices are still under discussion, but it is likely we will open multiple offices in the South-East and South-West of England in the coming 18 months.”
