Forrest looks for new talent

BOLTON-based contractor Forrest is hosting a recruitment open day on January 18.

The social housing specialist, backed by Palatine Private Equity, said it is looking to fill a number of roles across the business in 2014 including surveyors, project managers and administrative roles.

The recruitment drive follows Forrest’s most successful year to date with turnover hitting £100m.

Chief executive Lee McCarren said: “Thanks to phenomenal growth over the last year we’re able to make a renewed investment in our workforce. Engaging with people from the communities we work in and creating real, long-term job opportunities is a major commitment of ours, and this open day offers an ideal opportunity to meet talented people on our doorstep.

“Whilst we hope to recruit a number of individuals immediately, we’ll also be keeping on record details of all interested parties who may be engaged to deal with our increasing workload in the future.”

The event will run from 11am-3pm at Forrest’s office at Dodd Lane in Bolton. To reserve a place email recruitment@forrest.co.uk.
