Stafforce’s latest buy adds to expansion plans

Stafforce Personnel also recently acquired Relay Recruitment, which is based in Bradford, and Barnsley-based Action 4 Business.

Ian Anderson, the chief executive of Stafforce, said: “This is a very exciting time for our company. TEK Personnel is a great addition to our portfolio and there are many synergies between the two businesses.

“The company has specialisms in many industrial and commercial areas, which complement and enhance Stafforce’s business and will enable us to further extend our services to the market.

“The company also has a strong track record in permanent recruitment, which will help to support our growth beyond our traditional temporary and industrial sectors.

“The acquisition will further enhance our presence in South Yorkshire and the Midlands.”

Mike Childs, managing director of TEK Personnel, said: “This is great news for us and we welcome becoming part of the Stafforce Personnel business.

“Now with their backing and expertise, we will be looking to further develop opportunities within our core market sectors. We are very optimistic about the future and are confident that this will be a very positive move for both our staff and customers.”

TEK Personnel was established in 1984 and employs 24 staff across its offices in Sheffield, Derby and Wolverhampton.

The company has a UK-wide client base mainly in the manufacturing, engineering, technical, construction, sales & marketing and IT sectors.

Stafforce was founded more than 30 years ago in Rotherham and has 25 branches and onsite operations nationwide.

The company employs 150 people and supplies around 3,300 staff every week to industries including food, retail, manufacturing and construction.

Mr Anderson added: “We see this latest addition to the group as further strengthening our offer to customers.”
