Recruitment specialist reports a record for orders of temporary workers

In the same week that UK unemployment was reported to dip Leicester based recruitment specialists Encore Personnel announced their largest volume of temporary workers booked in one week. The industrial division of the Leicester branch, one of 16 divisions in the company, recorded 519 workers booked to work.

Greg Latham, Managing Director, commented “In the 25 years that I have worked in the recruitment industry I have never had a single division record that number of temporary contractors booked for work in a single week.”

“These figures show that businesses are starting to recover in the region and as they are experiencing extra demand for their products or services they are initially turning to temporary workers to cope with this upturn. The Leicester team have worked extremely hard to meet this upturn in demand and I would like to congratulate them on their massive efforts last week.”

Encore Personnel opened its first office in Leicester in 2002 and specialise in the supply of blue collar personnel (logistics, manufacturing and engineering, temporary and permanent) to industry throughout the U.K. It employs over 1,600 temporary staff each week through its existing six locations and 16 divisions continuing to build their reputation as one of the country’s leading recruitment consultancies.
