Privately-held Manchester-based specialist recruitment consultancy MERJE reported a turnover of £7.05 million for the full year of 2017, an increase of 36% from the previous year.

The group also announced that staff numbers across both Manchester and London offices grew. MERJE also announced that a new purpose built head office is currently being constructed in Whitefield, Manchester.

MERJE continues to provide Mid-Senior multi-sector recruitment services within Compliance, Risk Management, Financial Crime, Fraud and Customer Contact, but has recently strengthened its offering with a renewed focus on contract roles, and restructuring the teams in both offices to create a specialist Credit Risk & Analytics team as well as provide a nationwide solution to Finance & Accountancy roles.

Director Jonathan Abelson commented, “We are immensely proud of the success that MERJE saw last year. Since the company started in 2011, our focus has been on providing a high-quality service and establishing long-lasting relationships with our clients and candidates, and these financial results are testament to this approach. We have an extremely exciting 2018 and the opening of our new head office this summer highlights our investment in our future as we continue to grow.”
