Recruitment firms merge
GROWING national recruiter Nicholas Associates, which is headquartered in Yorkshire, has boosted it offering following a merger with Trinity Recruitment Group.
The Sheffield-based company claims that with the addition of financial and creative recruitment services that Trinity brings to its portfolio, it can now satisfy virtually every recruitment requirement to all sectors.
Director Paul Brammer said: “The deal is very much a meeting of minds. Trinity is a superb boutique firm whose management team has longstanding client relationships based on delivery, trust and integrity – which fits perfectly with our company culture and ethos. With the knowledge and specialisms the team at Trinity will bring to Nicholas Associates, we can bring clients a greater breadth and depth to the existing offer.
“The more capability we have, the greater our ability to partner employers on the whole company life cycle, from inception through growth and development to succession management or buyout – as well as working with their partner companies along the chain that brings the product or service to market.”
Paul Brammer continued: “The strategy is to make clients more efficient, profitable and sustainable through raised productivity delivered by motivated staff who benefit from a wide range of industry-leading training and development, career progression and benchmarking packages. Trinity is an excellent fit for our business as it has the same ethos and outlook.”
Trinity has operations in Sheffield and Doncaster.
The company and its subsidiary, Hash Creative, a niche regional and national recruiter for the creative sector, will be integrated into the Nicholas Associates brand and bolster its national presence.
The opportunity for managing director, Peter Bone, who co-founded Trinity with his wife, Natalie, is for his team to grow and develop by bringing its specialisms and skills to markets nationwide.
He said: “The merger has come at a great time for Trinity. Natalie and I and the other members of Trinity and Hash Creative are very excited about the future.
“Our clients will benefit from not only a wider range of services but they will also be able to able to draw from a bigger talent pool, while candidates will have an amplified range of career enhancing opportunities on a larger scale.”
As well as the comprehensive new financial and creative recruitment capabilities, key divisions of the enhanced Nicholas Associates operation include executive search and selection; engineering and technical; construction and aerospace; IT; sales and marketing; and food and supply chain.
