Two newly merged regional recruitment firms have held a drinks reception to mark a deal which will see them providing more specialist staff to firms across the West Midlands.

Redditch headquartered Workforce Staffing, which has nine branches across the region, announced the merger with Worcester’s Peach Recruitment, with Peach’s staff moving into Workforce’s Worcester recruitment centre.

The event, held at Worcester’s Boleros Bar & Kitchen, saw over 40 guests treated to drinks and a tapas-style buffet which followed short speeches by Workforce CEO Paul Alekna and Sarah Mayo-Evans, managing director and founder of Peach Recruitment.

Paul Alekna, said: “The merger with Peach Recruitment has been extremely smooth and the drinks reception was another opportunity for us to underline how we will work with candidates and local businesses in the future.”
