recruitment Growth continues for the STR Group
The STR Group is one of the fastest-growing recruitment agencies in the UK, achieving year-on-year growth, and in a five year period increased its turnover by £38 million
A remarkable achievement – particularly as the industry has been undoubtedly affected by the economic downturn in recent years. At a time when many recruitment companies have seen a decline in turnover, the company has shown resilience and demonstrated sustainable and consistent growth.
Winners of various growth awards, including this year’s Lakesmere Growth Business of the Year Award for the South Coast, and last year achieving eighth place in the Recruiter Fast 50 awards, STR advocates celebrating business success. As such, STR is sponsoring the ‘Best Company to Work For’ category at this year’s Solent Business Awards.
Richard Crawley, CEO, founded the company and said; “The STR Group has grown exponentially over the last five years. Operating in the very competitive recruitment consultancy market, we are proud to have achieved average annual growth of almost 50% over the past three years, through the creation of 12 niche industry sector brands and delivering bespoke recruitment solutions for our clients and candidates.
“We are excited about our future, and truly believe we will achieve our aim of £100m by 2018, by retaining and hiring the best staff, continuing to build and add to our specialist brands and delivering service excellence.”
The creation of niche brands reflects STR’s commitment to evolve as these specialist markets dictate, and ensures clients continue to receive the very best recruitment solutions, tailored to their needs. STR’s new businesses have further strengthened existing client relationships, and have been paramount in developing new accounts resulting in sustainable and consistent business growth.
Having been based in the South Coast region for 16 years, the STR Group is committed to supporting the wider Solent business community and is very proud to sponsor the ‘Best Company to Work For’ award.
