Newcastle recruitment firm Nigel Wright reveals North Yorkshire and Cumbria expansion

Nigel Wright Recruitment is expanding its regional business to recruit beyond the region, by breaking into new territory in North Yorkshire and Cumbria.

The Newcastle-based recruitment firm, which formed in the late ’80s, has grown from a small finance recruiter to finding employment for jobseekers across all market sectors.

Contending that the North Yorkshire and Cumbria markets are currently being under-serviced by high quality recruiters and Nigel Wright reporting two consecutive years of record growth, UK Executive Director Mark Simpson believes there couldn’t be a better time for the business to make the move.

Mark explained: “Much of the recruitment market over the last few years has fragmented and although it’s become more competitive it has largely been driven by providers offering low fees for a more transactional service.

“We have been steadfast in our approach to employ great people and drive value, not lowest cost, to identify better candidates and therefore better employees for our clients.”

“This is one of the reasons why we are currently working on two executive recruitment assignments where the Cumbrian client approached us to help them fulfil roles they have been unable to.”

Mark continued: “Most recruiters operate each business unit independently and don’t share customer knowledge, even between teams in the same office.

“We have continued to profit by doing the opposite - working collaboratively across teams and offices. This means that many of our clients like to use our services across the salary and discipline ranges in multiple locations.”
