Recruitment firm set to top £1bn turnover

Staffline, the Nottingham recruitment and training firm, looks set to break through the £1bn turnover mark, it revealed this morning (8 January).

The company said it expects sales to be around 18% higher than the £957.8m reported for 2017 after the companies it acquired last year performed ahead of expectations.

In a statement, Staffline said: “The PeoplePlus division has now successfully transitioned into the UK’s leading skills and training provider, making good progress in the year. The apprenticeship levy continues to present an excellent opportunity for growth in this area, and, along with Prison Education contract wins, is offsetting the reduced activity from the run-off of the Work Programme.”

Staffline will announce its annual results on 30 January.
