One of the leading voices in the recruitment industry, Recruitment International, has released its annual Top 250 report ranking Acorn in the top one percent of more than 9,000 recruitment companies in the UK and making it the highest-placed recruitment company in Wales for the tenth year running.
The Recruitment International Top 250 report is the only complete report on the UK Industry listing all agencies with a turnover in excess of £5million. This report provides information on industry size, how many companies, which recruitment companies specialise in which sectors and features the top companies in a multitude of disciplines and sectors.
Acorn has also been ranked in the ‘Top 20 companies’ in the UK in a number of key industry sectors such as ‘Top 20 Public Sector’, ‘Top 20 by Temps or Contractors’ and the ‘Top 20 Technical’, the only Welsh company to be listed in any of the Top 20 categories.
Matt Southall, Managing Director of Acorn, said: “We set ourselves exceptionally high standards at Acorn and work hard to ensure that they are met. To be consistently recognised at the top of our industry is reward for the great efforts not just of those who work here, but also of the thousands of people we place into work every day and the fantastic clients we work with.
“The recruitment industry has certainly had a difficult few years and it is reassuring that the sector is now steadily picking up with Acorn one of the companies taking the lead.”
With more than 20 years in the business, Acorn has its UK headquarters at the Celtic Springs Business Park in Newport and operates from 38 branches across Wales and the South West, North West and South East of England, and 3 ‘Acorn Global’ offices in Australia.
Acorn places up to 6,500 people into the workplace with around 850 different clients each week. The group also delivers training to more than 1,000 individuals and makes 1,700 permanent placements every year.
