SCOTTISH RECRUITMENT FIRM DEFIES UNEMPLOYMENT TREND

Scottish recruitment firm Ten Live have successfully defied the downward trend in unemployment by dramatically exceeding all initial expectations to report a gross turnover of £1.2m within their first six months of trading. These results firmly position the Coatbridge-based consultancy as one of the fastest growing recruitment agencies in Scotland.

Despite the news this week that unemployment in Scotland has risen by a further 13,000 to 231,000 (8.6 per cent)* between June and August, Ten Live are enjoying a period of continuous growth that has set the fledgling agency on course for a projected turnover of £2.1m by the end of their first full year of trading in March 2011.

Commenting on these latest results, Gary Telfer, joint owner and Director of Ten Live, said: “From the outset we have been very focused on what we want to achieve. We have created a company and brand that is buzzing and very exciting with new and innovative plans to drive the business forward.

“We have many clients and influential contacts we have worked with over many years who have been very supportive of Ten Live. Indeed, from day one we started trading with a FTSE 100 global engineering client which was soon followed by a number of global 3rd party Logistics companies who also came on board with us very quickly.”
