Recruitment group expands West Yorkshire operation in record year

Recruitment specialists Elevation Recruitment Group has opened a grade A office in Wakefield in response to record-breaking sales growth.

Driven by a significant increase in demand from clients in the West Yorkshire region, Elevation says the new facility at Red Hall Court triples the capacity of the office and gives the opportunity for future expansion of the business.

“In the last two years, the demand for Elevation’s services has been unprecedented,” said Elevation founder and CEO Greg Parkinson.

“Despite the economic uncertainty surrounding Brexit, the thriving Yorkshire economy has led to a significant increase in demand from our clients looking for high calibre staff, particularly those in the West Yorkshire region.  The introduction of the Northern Powerhouse scheme and the £28m investment for businesses in the Leeds region from the European Development Fund have been significant growth drivers for the local economy.

“As a result of our ongoing business success, Elevation is undertaking an extensive internal recruitment drive across all areas of the organisation,  from senior managers through to trainee recruiters,” said Parkinson.
