Acorn Group drives transport recruitment in North West
Leading recruitment and training agency Acorn, which is Concept's parent company, is fast becoming the driving force behind recruiting new staff for the transport industry throughout the North West.
The Acorn Group has launched a new driving division based in its Preston, and Runcorn branches, which has been developed to serve its clients right across the North West of England.
Newly-appointed recruitment consultant David Meloy, 28, will manage the new North West driving division, supplying experienced workers to driving, transport and logistics companies throughout the region.
Preston-based David, who has experience as a driving consultant for two national driving specialist recruitment companies said: "I have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the driving sector, which I'll use to benefit of all our logistics clients and the people we place with them.
"The Acorn Group has had great success in driving recruitment across its other regions and I look forward to building on this and helping to make the Group one of the UK's leading names in driving recruitment."
Operations Director Alison Broderick said: "We understand the requirements and operational pressures in this critical industry, and we are able to tailor solutions to suit each individual client's needs. Whether a client needs just a single driver for holiday cover or volume orders to cope with peak trading periods and driver shortages, the Acorn Group has proven many, many times that we're best placed to find the most appropriate personnel to fill the gaps."
Both Acorn and Concept supply fully reference-checked drivers in LGV class 1 and 2, 7.5 ton drivers, driver's mates, car and van drivers covering all types of work including general haulage and shunting.
Established in 1992, the Group has 32 branches across the UK and finds jobs for approx 6,000 people every week into some 850 different clients across a range of sectors.
