MEMBER NEWS Nottingham expansion for recruiter
National recruitment agency Encore Personnel has launched a new Nottingham division dedicated to recruiting drivers for clients in the East Midlands. The new division strengthens
Encore’s existing offering in the sector and further establishes its network within the logistics and driving candidate pool. The business operates a driving
division in five locations across the UK, making Nottingham its sixth hub of driving recruitment expertise.
‘We have very ambitious and exciting plans in place for our driving division, starting with the opening of our Nottingham branch this month’
Operations director Ed Vigars,
who has worked for the company for more than 17 years, is responsible for directing growth across its driving and industrial divisions.
Encore Personnel has celebrated the achievements of its staff over the past 12 months during an annual awards ceremony. Committed to maintaining its longstanding tradition of holding an
annual celebration to shine the spotlight on employee achievements, the recruitment firm’s directors arranged an online event this year. They handed out trophies in 12 categories, including Outstanding
Leadership and Outstanding Client Service, to teams and individuals who had gone above and beyond in 2020. Managing director Pete Taylor said: “Our annual awards ceremony
has long been a milestone date in the diary, as we give hearty business-wide recognition to the success of our staff in front of their colleagues. “It really was a celebration of the pure determination, creativity,
dedication and perseverance of our people. We were thrilled to announce a record turnover for the business, increasing year on year to now stand at £77m, which is down to the commitment of our dedicated and talented staff.”
He said: “We have very ambitious and exciting plans in place for our driving division, starting with the opening of our Nottingham branch. “We chose Nottingham as the
next expansion site because we found the perfect candidate for the role and, geographically, this location will really complement our Leicester and Derby driving team’s successful track record. The stronger our network of candidates, the better our offering is to our existing and new clients.” The new Nottingham division will
be headed up by John Epton, who has more than 18 years’ experience sourcing high-quality drivers in an area spanning from Rugby to Doncaster. Ed added: “John was the perfect
person for the role. His knowledge and expertise set him apart, as did his understanding of the priorities and values of the driver population and our clients regionally. “John will be responsible for
developing our offering in Nottingham and will have scope to grow his team significantly throughout this year and next. He will work out of our existing Nottingham office.”
