Calsonic Kansei extends recruitment partnership with NRG

Calsonic Kansei has extended its recruitment partnership with NRG by a further three years, after originally appointing the Newcastle agency in 2013.

NRG will continue to provide integrated resourcing solutions for temporary production, shop floor and warehouse/fork lift truck drivers to Automotive manufacturing firm’s three North East sites, situated in Washington, Sunderland and within Nissan manufacturing plant.

Calsonic Kansei’s UK manufacturing operation relies on a flexible workforce of up to 20% to work alongside its permanent employees.

NRG’s on-site team works in partnership with Calsonic to ensure that operational business objectives and targets are achieved through delivery of required staffing skills and volumes which have varied over the past 3 years.

John Barnett, Operations Director of CK, said: “The agency temporary workforce is integral in the operational efficiency for Calsonic Kansei, and we consider them part of our Team.

“We are delighted to work in partnership with NRG as our chosen staffing partner. They are integrated with Calsonic teams and fully understand the operational best practice, efficiency and value we require to deliver total delivered cost savings to our customers.”

Therese Liddle, CEO at NRG, said: “Calsonic Kansei is a valued client to NRG. The success of this contract is the relationship between the two businesses built on transparency, trust and confidence.

“We fully understand the complexity and challenges of Calsonic Kansei’s operating model within the automotive sector and our recruitment expertise supports that need for excellence, flexibility, high quality and good value.”
