BelFlex Staffing Network, a light industrial staffing agency, made two acquisitions recently: Little Rock, Ark.-based Premier Staffing Inc. and automotive staffing solutions provider First Line Emergency Response Team.

The Premier Staffing deal closed March 3; terms were not disclosed.

Premier Staffing targets the light industrial and clerical/professional staffing markets. The company provides temporary and contingent staff, direct hires, on-site management, human resources screening and training.  Owners Mary and Dwight Segraves retired upon the sale. Amy Langston was promoted to regional director and will manage the region under the name Premier Staffing, a BelFlex company.

Premier Staffing operates one office location and counts annual revenue ranging from $10 million to $15 million, according to BelFlex VP Bob Baer. BelFlex is looking to expand in the Little Rock and Arkansas areas, and plans to open more offices in 2017.

The transaction followed BelFlex’s acquisition in January of First Line Emergency Response Team. This transaction closed Dec. 21; terms were not disclosed and there are no immediate plans to change the name of the FLERT brand.

Birmingham, Ala.-based FLERT’s footprint in the automotive industry approximates BelFlex’s in the light industrial market. BelFlex is headquartered in Cincinnati.

Holly James, CEO of FLERT, joined the BelFlex management team as quality services manager. James founded his company in 2009 after 21 years in transportation and manufacturing management. The acquisition will allow it to serve a wider audience across the Midwest and Southeast.

FLERT has a team of more than 300 trained quality inspectors with 20 supervisors and team leads.
