Business for Sale Overview:
Operating since 2000, this business has firmly established itself as the first point of call for a large number of local companies looking to fill office support vacancies in and around the West Surrey and Hampshire borders. Based in a prominent High Street position in one of Surrey’s attractive, busy towns this business, positioned very much as a local agency for local businesses, is ideally placed to provide temporary and permanent office personnel for the small and medium sized businesses, independent schools and local authority offices based in the surrounding towns and villages.
The consultants of this business handle all levels of staff vacancies within the office support sector, including administrative, secretarial, customer services, accounts and sales roles – either on a permanent or temporary basis, with turnover split almost equally between the two areas. Typically vacancies command salaries in the £15,000 - £30,000 bracket.
Over its many years of operation, this business has built an excellent reputation for candidate and client service, confidentiality and integrity, taking extreme care with every brief it receives and with detailed pre-selection ensuring that only the right candidates are put forward for a vacancy. Not surprisingly therefore this business can claim a number of Clients with which it has long standing relationships – many from Day One and a candidate bank into the thousands – many of which return time and time again for their next placement. This individual, very personal approach and the quality of service provided is what sets it apart from other recruitment consultancies and is a reason why this business is a preferred supplier to many of its Clients.

The business has a very well designed corporate look incorporating an attractive and informative corporate brochure and website which performs very effectively in all the major search engines for all appropriate search terms.
