Three business entrepreneurs have created a new £125m recruitment and staffing solutions business.
Nick Cragg, Craig Buckingham and Roger Frost have announced the formation of an entirely new specialist recruitment and staffing solutions company called Aristotle Partnerships, according to the firm.
The new enlarged group will comprise Nicholas Associates Group (NAG), Red Rock Partnership (RRP) and Syntax Consultancy (Syntax), with all brands continuing to operate under their trading names and maintain their existing brand identity.
Aristotle Partnerships brands will now be able to offer apprentice and graduate placement and recruitment, blue and white collar flexible, temporary and permanent recruitment, engineering, IT, finance & HR, executive search, IT consultancy, digital learning and development consultancy, and HR management software solutions.
Nick Cragg founded Nicholas Associates Group in 1977, initially supplying site engineers to the construction industry. Through diversification, organic growth and acquisitions NAG now offers apprentice to boardroom talent management solutions.
Craig Buckingham is chairman and founder of RRP, which he established in 2007, and also a member of The Leaders Council of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. Roger Frost is managing director of Syntax and has more than 35 years of success in creating great partnerships with clients in the IT sector. In 2005 he enacted an MBI to buy out the previous management team of Syntax.
