Serving the Teesside Business Community | 21 Solutions Recruitment Teesside celebrates third birthday Some of the Solutions Recruitment Teesside team (left to right): Tom Richardson, Liana Fish, Matthew Telling, Michaela Galbraith and Harry Chatha. L eading agency Solutions Recruitment is celebrating three years of successful operations in Teesside. Since launching in July 2014 the business has gone from strength to strength, providing an unparalleled service in recruitment for temporary, contract, permanent, professional and executive roles, and growing the team to 15 dedicated recruitment specialists – five of which have joined the team this year. Based at Boho 6 in Middlesbrough, Solutions Recruitment Teesside specialises in a wide variety of sectors including engineering, accountancy and finance, HR, sales and marketing, construction and civils, utilities, procurement, production and warehousing, driving and logistics and blue collar trades. Having recruited the five new team members, the business will also expand to develop its offering across the board. Matthew Telling, operations manager at Solutions Recruitment Teesside, said: “I have been with the Teesside team since the start of the journey, and it’s fantastic to see how far the business has come. “We have always had ambitious plans, but we have exceeded our own expectations and that’s down to the fantastic people working within our organisation, who are considered to be some of the best consultants working in the area. “Thanks to our approach of properly consulting with our clients rather than simply filling roles, we have been able to build great relationships with some of the area’s leading employers.” Solutions Recruitment Teesside operates as part of the wider Solutions group, which comprises Solutions Training, Networked Professionals, Energy Professionals Group, Ship to Shore and six Solutions Recruitment branches across the UK – including the Liverpool office which opened earlier this month. The group, which has been operating in Newcastle since 1984, welcomed director Charlie Grabham to the team in 2014. She said: “Our aim is to become the recruitment partner of choice in all of the locations in which we operate, and the Teesside team is a huge success story for us. The team is extremely experienced and all the consultants have worked with each other for a long time, which is one of the main reasons for their success. “Recruitment is a saturated industry but Solutions looks to operate in a different way, providing our clients with additional services which will help them to make the right recruitment decisions and ultimately grow their businesses. “In addition to recruitment, we also offer clients consultancy services - providing advice on restructuring and outplacement, organisational design, role profiling and talent acquisition – and have our dedicated training arm which supports many clients with rapid scale-up scenarios.” For more information about Solutions Recruitment Teesside, or to speak to the team about your recruitment needs, please visit www.solrecruit.co.uk or call 01642 772 171.
