SPG Resourcing: Leeds recruitment firm set to launch new Manchester office
Leeds-based recruitment firm SPG Resourcing has announced that it is opening a Manchester office as the firm steps up its international expansion across the US, UAE and other global markets.
The new office will initially focus on deep technology, with SPG Resourcing targeting companies in areas such as robotics and AI.
The company said it had appointed Dylan Lancaster as divisional director to establish the operation and “drive growth in deep technology recruitment, with a particular focus on robotics and artificial intelligence”.
Speaking on the announcement, Sam Hameed, managing director of SPG Resourcing, said: “Manchester is an important next step in our growth.
"It gives us a base in one of the UK’s strongest technology cities and puts us in a better position to build our international business. We already see significant opportunities in the US and the UAE, but our ambitions extend beyond any single market. We want SPG Resourcing to become a global operator, and that means building specialist teams with the networks and experience to work internationally.
“Dylan understands deep-tech recruitment, has experience building businesses overseas, and knows how to develop relationships in new markets. His appointment gives us an experienced leader to build Manchester while supporting our growth internationally.”
Mr Lancaster joins from Ace Partners. He previously spent four years in Dubai building recruitment operations before returning to the UK.
A key part of Mr Lancaster’s role will involve developing relationships with venture capital firms investing in US technology businesses.
He said: “Deep technology companies are competing for people with very specific skills, and that competition is international.
"A robotics or AI business in the US may need to look well beyond its local market to find the right person, which creates an opportunity for recruiters with genuinely international networks.”
