Chorley recruitment firm set to expand after free help

Chorley’s Perfect Recruitment is preparing to expand into larger premises as a result of taking part in Boost Business Lancashire’s Growth Mentoring programme.

The business, which employs seven staff, is also looking to create more jobs when the extra office space becomes available.

Perfect Recruitment has been trading for seven years and has generated significant growth during the last two years.

The company has also benefitted from Empowering Your Team training that will enable members of the team to be more effective in supporting the expansion strategy.

Boost Business Lancashire is the £7.2 million Lancashire Business Growth Hub, offering free and part-funded business support to ambitious and growing businesses.

Delivered by Lancashire County Council and the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership, and supported by £3.6 million from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), it aims to grow Lancashire’s economy by £20 million and create at least 1,200 new jobs and safeguard 700 more by 2015.

Director Lisa Brady-Munro said “I was introduced by Community & Business Partners (CBP) to Karen Sherbourne to help with support through business mentoring.

“I put the business plan together with Karen’s help and she also advised me on various staffing issues.”

“The help I received was fantastic and allowed me to gain a clear and objective picture of my business, along with my ideas to expand it.”

Jane Houghton-Fenning, business development director at Community & Business Partners commented: “Lisa was very receptive to having support from an experienced business person and followed through on all actions to take her business forward.

“We look forward to hearing that her growth is continuing and that she will soon love the numbers as she achieves even larger ones.”
