The Chippenham-based company is moving both its Salisbury and Bristol offices into larger premises in each of the cities , to give it the space it needs to take on more staff .

And there is more good news for 24-7 Staffing , as it has just been named a finalist in the prestigious IRP industry awards , run by the Institute of Recruitment Professionals . It is in the running for the Best Company to Work for category , for companies with between 20 and 50 staff .

“ Our expansion is all going according to plan , which is why we need to move to larger premises in Bristol and Salisbury ,” said managing director Julian Thompson . “ We are actively recruiting for our own team , and our aim is to take on another 36 people to increase the headcount in

our existing offices , and to staff two new branches which we plan to open in 2019 and 2020 .

“ The icing on the cake is to be named as finalists in the IRP awards . We are delighted it is for the Best Companies to Work for award , because we put such store by looking after and nurturing the team we have here .”

The IRP Awards finals are being held on December 6 . A win would make a hattrick for 24-7 Staffing , which earlier this year won the Wiltshire Business Services to the Community Award and the Chippenham Business Customer Services award .

Julian said 24-7 Staffing ’ s policy for recruiting its own staff centred around taking on high calibre people , not

necessarily from the recruitment industry , and investing in their training .

He said : “ We invested heavily in an internal recruitment and training package which gives all our new team members really in-depth training in all aspects of the recruitment industry , as well as our internal systems and processes .”

24-7 Staffing was set up in 2004 , initially as an agency placing drivers , using Julian ’ s extensive industry knowledge . It now has four strong divisions : driving , commercial , industrial and healthcare .

This year alone , 24-7 Staffing has seen 25 per cent financial growth , taken on an average of two new clients a week and has strengthened all four divisions , particularly healthcare . This is now the company ’ s fastest growing division .
