Whitley Bay employment practice doubles turnover to over £500k

Whitley Bay-based First Class Technical Recruitment, the North East industry employment practice, has achieved record turnover after securing a number of high profile clients, leading to the business expanding its workforce.

The company, which has offices in Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Aberdeen, has more than doubled its turnover in the last 12 months, with revenues growing to over £500k.

During 2014 the business has entered into agreements with a number of significant national clients, including Crown Paints and Perenco, supporting the recruitment of skilled technical and engineering personnel.

First Class Technical Recruitment, which serves sectors including oil & gas, power, chemical and pharmaceuticals, has built its success on its team of experienced personnel that have extensive engineering knowledge and experience.

The company’s recent growth has enabled the business to create three brand new roles.

It is currently recruiting for experienced individuals, with an engineering background, who can use their technical skills to help source suitable candidates for key roles such as Lead Engineers, Site Operations Managers and Turnaround Engineers.

Director of First Class Technical Recruitment, James Gill, said: “The market and technical knowledge of our team is seen as a real advantage by our clients when they are looking to recruit specialist and experienced engineers.

“Understanding the specific technical requirements of the role and the client’s plant operations ensures we can source candidates best suited for the position.

“It is also always satisfying to be able to create employment within our own business and the growth we have achieved this year has led to the need for more experienced recruiters with engineering experience who can serve our growing client base.”
