HR GO Recruitment links up with North East BIC

HR GO Recruitment is the latest regional firm to move to the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC), leaving its old Newcastle-based premises behind.

Founded in Kent in 1957, HR GO will celebrate its 60th anniversary next year. With several specialist businesses under the HR GO plc umbrella, the company has grown into a £90m operation.

HR GO Recruitment serves clients and candidates, finding people with the right skills for permanent and temporary positions.

Cindy Hare, HR GO commercial director, said the business needed larger offices because it was stepping up its permanent recruitment business.

Permanent recruitment, running alongside HR GO expertise and achievements in temporary employment, was poised to “grow massively,” she said.

Cindy explained: “We viewed several office locations but chose BIC because it was in the right place and everybody has been so friendly and helpful. The move went really smoothly. Moving to Sunderland means our staff have nicer offices and more space to grow.

“The offices are three times bigger than what we had before and it’s a very positive move. It felt right for us.”

She added that most of her four-strong team, managed by Helen Walton, lived in Sunderland and the BIC’s convenient location made travelling a lot easier.

David Howell, director of operations at the BIC, added: “As always it is a privilege to welcome another well established, successful company to our multi-purpose business centre.

“It’s fantastic to see HR Go and other businesses appreciate the opportunities available in Sunderland and the North East.

“Here at the BIC we have a unique mix of companies which make up our business community and I am delighted that HR Go are now part of this.”
