Recruiter appointed to manage Heathrow skills academy

Nottingham-based recruitment giant Staffline’s PeoplePlus division has been appointed to manage the Heathrow Employment and Skills Academy (HESA).

Beginning in 2020, PeoplePlus will help Heathrow Airport to deliver its commitment to create 10,000 apprenticeships by 2030. 

HESA brings together Heathrow, its business partners, local employers, colleges and community organisations to support a wide range of recruitment and career development activities.  

Chris Pullen, chief executive officer at Staffline, said: “PeoplePlus has worked closely with Heathrow Airport and members of Team Heathrow in the delivery of apprenticeships since July 2019 and are extremely proud to be part of such a dynamic and committed partnership. Heathrow has set out its vision to create a lasting skills legacy and to create up to 40,000 new careers. PeoplePlus’ scale and experience as the UK’s leading independent skills and training provider mean that we are extremely well placed to support these significant commitments.”
