IT Recruitment FirmCelebrates Record Results - June 2007

Wednesday, 27 August 2008

"We set ourselves a target of becoming a £22 million turnover business for the last financial year and I am delighted that we’ve beaten this target," commented GCS’ head of sales, Paul Winchester. "Our preliminary results are now above the £23 million turnover level, with profits also exceeding expectations. We celebrated our achievements recently at our annual May ball, where we also announced our aggressive expansion plans and growth targets for the coming year." “The IT market is the place to be in the recruitment sector at the moment. There is a real shortage of candidates currently at all levels and we have to work hard in order to fulfil our customers’ requirements. As a result, we are looking to significantly expand our staff numbers in both the UK and Continental Europe this year,” said Chris Bartlett, GCS’ managing director. GCS already employs 79 people in Europe and plans to increase headcount up to 100 this year. So, it is calling for all driven and ambitious individuals seeking a successful career, in a fast-growth market, to get in touch. It has already set aggressive targets for the next financial year which it will support with substantial investment in areas such as technology, marketing and a staff development programme, for which it received the Investors in People standard. Chris Bartlett added: "We are immensely proud of Paul and his team and it was great to see both our French and Dutch businesses beating their performance targets too. The de-merger gives Paul and his management team real autonomy to develop the GCS brand going forwards. All of our offices are continuing to record high placement levels and anyone who is interested in a career in IT recruitment should contact Paul.”
