UK-based specialist recruitment firm Encore Personnel reported revenue of £72 million in 2018, an increase of 11.7% compared to the previous year. Gross profit was up 17.2%.

Encore Personnel, founded in 2001, provides blue-collar temporary workers in various sectors.

The company operates from nine offices across the UK.

“The agency is now in a strong position to deliver and achieve its growth strategy over the next three years, and plans are already in place to ensure that Encore is able to increase turnover even further to £79 million, while achieving a profit of £1.8 million,” the group said.

Greg Latham, Managing Director at Encore Personnel, also commented, “This achievement, this new record for the business has really set out our stall. We have an amazing team led by talented individuals who are hugely knowledgeable about their clients and their clients’ industries. It’s a clear advantage that we invest so deeply in staff development and have established a reputation for anticipating client needs and recognising recruitment trends within their sectors.”

“Moving forward in 2019, our future strategy plans will see four new Managed Services divisions, the expansion of our driving and engineering sectors and the continued growth of our new Contact Services division. We are also looking to increase our permanent placement revenue by 30% at the end of 2019, by placing more candidates into senior roles,” Latham said.
