Recruitment firm moves into Spalding offices

Recruitment firm, Encore Personnel, has relocated to new and larger offices in The Crescent, Spalding, in order to serve its expanding client and candidate base in the region with a team that has doubled in size since the start of lockdown.

The Spalding office was one of the few branches in the group to stay entirely open throughout lockdown.

This was due to the sheer volume of work requiring team members be on hand to deal with increased demand for flexible labour.

Expansion in the region for the recruitment firm has been driven by a strong base of food production and horticulture clients, with support for firms that have faced increased demand for products during the Covid-19 lockdown and well-publicised challenging labour issues.

Ed Vigars, operations director at Encore, said: “We’ve more than doubled team members based at our Spalding branch and moved to new premises far ahead of our scheduled strategic
move.

“Since March we have sourced and placed over 1,000 workers in key industries in the region, and under the guidance of divisional manager, Martin Knowles, the Spalding branch has been supported from our Peterborough office in order to recruit from two labour hubs, allowing a wider geographical coverage, to fulfil clients’ needs.”
