Recruitment firm celebrates strong year
Derby’s Ford & Stanley Group is celebrating a strong year, attributing its growth to employee well-being and environmental initiatives.
The company, offering leadership, performance coaching, and mental fitness support alongside recruitment services, contributed to 393,000 improved workdays for customers in 2022/23.
It’s achievements include high staff retention and increased recruitment, culminating in an 22% year-over-year turnover increase.
Eoin Grindley, finance director said: “Following on from the very strong results in the 2022/23 financial year, 2023/24 will see a continuation in that growth in terms of turnover and profitability, much of which will continue to be reinvested in growth strategies and create further career and personal development opportunities for the team at Ford & Stanley Group.”
Peter Schofield, group chairman said: “Our services are delivered by committed teams of people who care about the positive impact that they can have on other people’s lives. When, for example, one of our recruitment teams helps someone to enjoy better workdays through finding them a new role, they know that they are not only helping that person to enjoy 7 days a week rather than dread Monday mornings, they are also planting an oak tree as part of our environmental work which will provide up to one thousand years of environmental benefit as a direct result. This is genuinely powerful stuff.
“As we retained 100% of our post-probation recruitment teams and grew the teams overall by a further 20%, it’s evident that our people are totally engaged in what we do, how we do it and the things we collectively believe in.”
