Major corporate deal secures thousands of jobs across the country

-

THOUSANDS OF jobs have been safeguarde­d after a Yorkshireb­ased company gained a new owner.

Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd has acquired recruitmen­t firm Transline Group for an undisclose­d sum, securing more than 5,560 jobs across the UK.

The deal will see the Transline Group, which is based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd.

There will be no changes to the day-to-day operations with all employees, senior management and clients transferri­ng across to the new company.

Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd’s other subsidiari­es are Russell Taylor Group Ltd, founded in 2002; Recruit Right Ltd, founded in 2011; and Assist Resourcing UK Ltd, which the group acquired in January 2017.

Russell Taylor Holding’s companies work across a number of recruitmen­t sectors, including constructi­on, engineerin­g, warehousin­g and manufactur­ing.

Commenting on the transactio­n, Ben Russell, the group CEO of Russell Taylor Holdings Ltd, said: “Transline has been a growing force within the industrial recruitmen­t industry for nearly three decades with long-term customer relationsh­ips across the most successful businesses in retail and logistics.

“The industrial recruitmen­t industry has faced pressure due to the exponentia­l growth of the UK e-commerce sector and the experience and quality of the Transline team and its investment in compliance and infrastruc­ture will ensure the business reaches its future potential.

“The investment will facilitate the long-term success of the company and wider group as we continue to bring on board complement­ary businesses that share our values to create an industryle­ading combinatio­n.”

Russell Taylor Holdings has 168 employees, and more than 4,000 temporary staff within its subsidiari­es. The Wirral-based family firm was founded 15 years ago.
