The next few months will see the integration of offices and personnel in the UK ready to present a seamless operation to clients and candidates from October 1st 2009 as the new organisation enters a soft phase of rebranding over the following 18 months. “It’s an exciting move and one that is based on delivering commercial success and competitive advantage with the support of Randstad as one of the world’s foremost recruitment organisations” “We have two well respected and leading recruitment businesses operating in the same markets and increasingly they are duplicating energy and effort in talking to the same people. The merger will be a catalyst to bring together and combine strength, talent and expertise into one organisation and provide a strong platform for future growth and opportunity” Mark Bull, currently MD of Hill McGlynn, has welcomed the merger and emphasised that by aligning itself to the Randstad brand, the new operation will be able to capitalise on the synergies between existing clients and other Randstad companies, allowing greater market penetration and tapping into latent potential: “It’s about building a better future and ensuring our service proposition continues to develop to meet the needs of our clients and candidates” he says. “As one integrated team, we have more potential to accelerate our growth and ultimately offer greater opportunity to the team of hugely talented staff that we have within our business”. Peter Reynolds, who will head up Randstad Construction, Property & Engineering in the Middle East, says: “I see the merger as a great opportunity to strengthen our position in national and international world markets. We have the largest geographical footprint in the Middle East of any construction recruitment organisation and being part of the world’s second largest recruitment organisation gives us the springboard for further growth and scale”. Randstad Construction, Property and Engineering branding within the UK will be phased in gradually across the next 18 months (completed 1st January 2011) supported by an intensive marketing programme to clients, candidates and stakeholders to create awareness of the benefits and opportunities that will be available to them. The resulting organisation will be a major force, pushing for the number one slot in construction, property and engineering recruitment.
