First Yorkshire base as recruitment firm grows national footprint

A growing recruitment firm with eight existing offices across the Midlands and North West England has chosen a location in Wakefield as the site for its first Yorkshire office.

It has secured a base at Langham House in Wakefield.

The expansion of Swift Temps into Yorkshire, facilitates the company’s continued growth as it seeks to support workers with finding temporary and permanent employment positions.

The company now has nine offices across the West Midlands and North West England with offices in St Helens, Manchester, Preston, Deeside, Birmingham, Redditch, Telford, Coventry and Wakefield.

Its Wakefield branch specialises in placing workers in Industrial, Food, Engineering, Transport and Commercial sectors in both temporary and permanent roles.

Managing director David Cottington said: “We’re happy to open our first office in Yorkshire and our ninth office nationally.

“The company has just come off the back of a record-breaking peak season and we’re pleased to extend our services to Wakefield and the wider Yorkshire area.

“We are really excited to help local people get back into work at a time when households are facing economic uncertainty, and we have jobs already available on a temporary and permanent basis.

“Having lived in the North-west for my whole life, it’s a personal ambition of mine to help local people back in to work during these unprecedented economic circumstances which we are all facing.”
