Future is clear for expanding Leeds recruitment company

LEEDS specialist recruitment company, Clear Edge Search & Selection has made a move to a larger Horsforth office to house its growing team.

The 2,500 sq ft office at Lister House will allow Clear Edge take its employee headcount to 40 by the end of 2017.

The specialist FMCG recruitment company, which counts among its clients big names such as McCain Foods, United Biscuits and Bacardi, has grown its team to 20 in the past 12 months from 15 staff members.

Tom Fox, director at Clear Edge, said: “2015 has been a hugely successful year for us so far and moving to a new, larger office will allow us to comfortably house our existing employees, whilst also giving us space to take on further staff over the coming months.

“We’re a young company with ambitious growth plans and our vision is to expand the functions we recruit in, which means we need to attract the brightest, most ambitious and entrepreneurial people to work for us. Our new facilities will allow us to do that and enable us to grow the business.”

The business was established in 2011 by Tom Fox and Terry Batty, who both continue to run it today.
