Recruitment drive at Cabfind
BIRKENHEAD-based Cabfind has taken on 20 extra staff and is looking for a further 10.
The firm, which was supported with a Regional Growth Fund grant last year, manages taxi bookings for corporate clients such as the NHS, the Prison Service, Virgin Trains and Channel 4 News.
Owned by Chris and Tim Jordan, the business saw sales in the six months to June rise by 12.5% to £9m.
Chris Jordan, managing director, said: “It is crucially important to us that we recruit the right people with the right skills to facilitate our ambitious growth plans. We are a SME headquartered in Birkenhead and, in the next five years, we want to turn our business into a global brand.
“We aim to grow from our current turnover of £15m to £50m, doubling our number of jobs from 65 last year to 125 by 2018. Finding and nurturing dynamic, ambitious employees is therefore key if we are to become the largest, independent privately owned provider of managed ground transportation services firstly in the UK and then beyond.
“The local district and the wider Merseyside economy will also greatly benefit from our growth, particularly from the sustainable employment, up-skilling and training of new staff which will be required to deliver our software development centre and the research and development activities created by it.”
The company is looking for staff in IT, client services and sales and marketing.
