On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Frontline Recruitment has unveiled the first new member of its team as it embarks on an expansion plan in Mansfield.

Matt Goodwin joins the team at Frontline in Mansfield as business manager, and brings with him two years of experience within the industrial, driving and commercial sectors.

David Essam, general manager at Frontline Recruitment, said: “Matt is a great first addition as part of our plans to grow the Mansfield team.

“He will be responsible for growing the Frontline brand via different sales channels and developing the Mansfield branch in all areas – through clients, candidates and client base.

“We have big plans for the Mansfield office, and are actively looking to hire recruitment professionals of the same calibre as Matt. If you think you have what it takes and would like to work for one of Mansfield’s fastest-growing companies, please get in touch.

Goodwin said: “I was instantly impressed with how ambitious the team at Frontline Recruitment were, and I was made to feel very welcome.

“The recently refurbished offices have made a huge difference to team morale, and we’re really ready to go places now, and take the business to the next level. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and working with clients and candidates old and new.”

Goodwin’s appointment comes as part of a recruitment drive which will see Frontline create 14 new roles across its six UK offices in Mansfield, Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Hull and Weymouth.
