JV aims to build largest logistics recruitment firm
Two West Midlands recruitment firms have announced a joint venture which aims to create the region’s largest logistics jobs firm by 2028.
The Jarell Group has partnered with logistics recruitment firm, Temp Source, as it looks to offer hundreds of permanent and temporary roles to professional drivers, managers and warehouse operatives within the transport and logistics sectors.
Following the merger, The Jarell Group’s James Cronin will become executive chairman of the firm, working closely with Temp Source’s joint managing directors, Josh Allen and Aaron Hillman.
The Temp Source brand will remain in place as part of the agreement, and plans are in place to relocate from its Edgbaston office to elsewhere in the city in the months ahead.
The partnership will also see a series of new recruitment roles created in 2023 – with more than 500 professional HGV and light vehicle drivers registering in the past quarter alone.
Cronin, group commercial director at The Jarell Group said: “The logistics and transport industries are thriving at present and operators are craving quality, trained and trustworthy people to take on a whole host of roles.
“That’s where recruiters with the best contacts and an eye for detail come in and why I think Temp Source will make a difference in the months and years as they want to provide genuine, highly-motivated people who have already passed rigorous testing”.
Temp Source’s Josh Allen said: “Ultimately, we want to be the region’s largest logistics recruitment agency within five years.
“Working together to introduce new systems, processes and taking on the best people, is vital to making that a reality so having the team at Jarell Group alongside us is a huge positive as we enter a new year”.
The Jarell Group provides workplace solutions for a whole host of companies and has offices in Worcestershire, Birmingham, London, Leeds and Walsall. Last year the company expanded by acquiring Nottingham firm KHS Personnel and York-based,
Bridge Recruitment.
