Current economic conditions are not hindering one company, as they continue to add to their growing brand portfolio and geographical coverage. National recruitment network gap personnel this week introduce thriving Newton Abbot based agency, 4front Recruitment to their ever expanding network. 4front is the third acquisition to join gap personnel’s talent stable in 2009 alone.
4front Recruitment will support gap personnel’s growth in the Westcountry and spearhead gap personnel’s services into the Dorset, Devon and Cornwall regions. This move is designed to strengthen and widen gap personnel’s presence in the South West recruitment market

Doug Kelsall, Director of 4front Recruitment comments, ‘This is great news for 4front, jobseekers and businesses in the Westcountry. We’ve been given a fantastic opportunity in partnering with gap personnel, allowing us to grow with the backing of a 40 strong branch network, that have achieved leading accreditations and several prestigious industry awards. 4front and my team will still provide the same quality of service we have always offered, but with the added benefit of extra training for our staff and more services and facilities for our valued candidates and clients.

Doug adds, ‘4front and gap personnel are the perfect partnership; we both share the same focus on people, passion for recruitment and emphasis on quality. We are delighted with the acquisition and look forward to truly filling the ’gap’ within the Westcountry’s employment sector under gap personnel’s stewardship.’

Managing Director of gap personnel's Gary Dewhurst says, ‘We are really pleased to add 4front Recruitment to our brand portfolio. Our growth plans have seen our network expand rapidly in the past few months, with acquisitions in London and Bristol. 4front is the perfect agency to continue our expansion in the South of the UK.
4front has had three good years of growth, along with building an enviable reputation for expertise and quality of service. With our support the team at 4front are set to achieve great results in the area. We are expanding 4front’s Newton Abbot Office with additional expert consultants, complimenting their highly experienced internal team, and enabling 4front to service their existing and new clients to the highest gap standards. This also gives gap the platform to service many of our national clients within the Westcountry which has been part of our strategic growth and vision. ‘

Gary concludes, ‘When researching the area 4front really stood out and we have felt from day one that they promote and conduct themselves like us, which is paramount for gap personnel. We are one of the country’s Top 10 industrial recruiters, and 4front are going to enable us to build on that title. You will be seeing and hearing a lot more about 4front Recruitment, now a division of gap personnel.’
