Capitalise on market leadership

Broaden portfolio of services

Ongoing profit growth in PeoplePlus

Grow in Republic of Ireland

Staffline’s Recruitment divisions have market-leading positions in the supply of blue-collar temporary workers. Our focus
is on taking advantage of our strengthened balance sheet to expand our market share to drive growth.

Further expand existing expertise and technology capabilities to grow revenues from higher margin services including permanent recruitment and managed services.

 

Despite a commissioning lull, our focus remains on winning new contracts, innovating to drive additional business volumes, and leveraging our experienced senior leadership team to consolidate our positions in prison education and Department for Work & Pensions employability schemes.

 

RoI has an attractive recruitment market, allowing us to invest in additional branches and fee-earners. Our priority is expanding our high-margin white-collar recruitment
service and retaining existing key public sector contracts in Northern Ireland.
