Pertemps expands national presence with London acquisition

Warwickshire based recruiter Pertemps Network Group has expanded its presence in London with a new acquisition.

The group has acquired a stake in specialist agency ISE Partners, which specialises in the placement of secretarial, office support, public relations and communications professionals operating in the financial services, investment and professional services sectors.

By forming this latest partnership, PNG is able to continue its growth across the country; a growth which in 2016 saw it named as the highest placed recruiter in the Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250.

Carmen Watson, chair of Pertemps, said: “This partnership marks the start of a new phase of our strategic objective that aims to enhance our presence in London whilst further increasing the range of specialisms we are able to offer as a group.

“We are very much looking forward to working closely with the ISE Partners and are highly confident that our partnership will bring even more benefits to the businesses we work with in and around the capital city.”

ISE Partners was founded in 2007 by directors Eva Rode Hilbert, Susannah Lawson and Isobel Burns. Eva and Susannah will continue to lead ISE while Isobel has already exited the business.

Susannah Lawson said: “Eva, Isobel and I are very proud of what we have achieved to date, which is also testament to the dedication of our talented team. We’re excited to enter into this new chapter in our growth in our company’s tenth year and look forward to working with the Pertemps Network Group board and central services team in order to bring our high quality services to a much broader geographical market.”
