Newcastle recruiter hits the Quayside with £2m turnover and new hires

A local recruitment consultancy has expanded its operations and relocated to bigger offices following a business surge.

Elsdon Consulting, a specialist IT recruitment consultancy headed by director Louise Brooks, has moved from its Grey Street office in Newcastle to larger premises at Pandon Buildings on the Quayside.

The business has occupied the new space in order to accommodate its growing client base and team. The company also reached a £2m turnover at the end of its most recent financial year.

Elsdon Consulting has grown from five people to 26 in the past two years. The fresh team also includes director John Reay and a management team of five lead consultants which head divisions of the business.

Louise Brooks, who launched the company five years ago, said: “This relocation marks a period of substantial growth for Elsdon Consulting and we are delighted that business is continuing to do so well.

“The new offices will allow us to welcome new staff and clients as well as prepare for future growth.

“Our growth has been down to our ability to diversify into new and growing markets. We have a number of strong relationships with clients who have stayed with us since day one, and we are continuously partnering with new, innovative and emerging businesses.

“We aim to have repeat business with our technology-based clients and have been successful in doing so. Our success has also been thanks to provide an honest, reliable and specialist service.”
