Rob Grimshaw, CEO of Tes, commented: “We are delighted to be opening a new Tes operation in the heart of the country and have been thoroughly impressed by all that Sheffield has to offer.

“So much so that our new CFO, Paul Simpson, joining us in May will be based in the new offices.

“At Tes, we believe in the power of teachers to change lives and are proud to provide services that help teachers spend as much time as possible doing the most important part of their jobs – teaching children.”

“We help schools’ stretched budgets go further, by providing excellent recruitment services and access to the a global teacher talent pool.”
