About us

1997 saw the opening of the branch in Newcastle and this was also the year some of the key staff from our senior management team began their careers in recruitment.

Our Edinburgh office opened in this year and the year also saw Jonathan Emmerson, Operations Director, join the business.

Adam Sheekey, CEO of the group, joined the business in 2000, shortly followed by James Scott, Operations Director.

2020 was the year Now Dutton was acquired into the Group.  This was an unexpected and somewhat difficult period, as the pandemic and lockdown restrictions made it difficult to cement relationships in the traditional way. 

However, as a result of regular telephone calls and Teams meetings to check up on employee welfare, we were able to put strategies into place that saw the business develop into a stronger position throughout the year.

The recovery from the pandemic and lockdown continued during this period.  The Directors continued to take a flexible approach and supported employees' needs throughout and we are proud to say that staffing levels were kept constant during the year.  

We used our many years' expertise to guide and advise our clients through extremely uncertain times and assisted our candidates with the Government funded schemes such as furlough and universal credit.

With the trials and tribulations of the last two years hopefully behind us, this year we have been able to focus on the future of our business and we have been committed to pushing continued investment in our growth.

We have been delighted to see the introduction of a Nursing & Medical sector in both Newcastle and Edinburgh branches and with some excellent additions to the existing team already in place, plans for the opening of new branches across the UK, we are excited to see what the future holds for the business in the coming years.
