Recruitment firm marks milestone with turnover touching £40m

Professional services recruitment specialists Sellick Partnership, which has an office in Leeds, has reported turnover approaching the £40m barrier as it marks 15 years in business.

Audited accounts show that turnover at the firm grew by 10% to £38.8m, with net fee income also growing by 6% to £5.8m.

Sellick Partnership said it is proving that the professional services recruitment market remains strong despite the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, with more than 270 permanent placements made across the 2016/17 period up from 249 in the previous year.

Jo Sellick, managing director, said: “I am thrilled that we have managed to maintain our lengthy period of sustained growth despite a number of challenges over the past 12 months.

“The recruitment market has remained buoyant in the wake of a lot of uncertainty across the UK and it is great to see financial results that reflect that. It is also incredibly encouraging to see our new offerings, actuarial, HR, change and transformation and housing all performing well.”

With seven offices across the country and employing more than 80 staff, Sellick Partnership says it has ambitious recruitment plans for the next 18 months.

Sellick said: “2017/18 is going to be an incredibly exciting year for Sellick Partnership as we celebrate our 15th year in business. We will continue to grow incrementally within our current specialisms, as well as cater for the needs of the growing market across the UK.”
