AN Edinburgh-based firm has been named among the fastest growing businesses in the UK.
Core-Asset Consulting has been named in the Recruiters Fast 50 list which puts the firm among the UK’s top performing recruitment businesses in the past year.
The Edinburgh-based firm, which was founded by entrepreneur Betsy Williamson in 2005, had a compound annual growth rate of 32% in the last year with revenue reaching more than £26,000,000.
Williamson (below), who serves as chief executive of the firm, said: “Our ability to retain and attract clients is simply down to our capacity to provide an unrivalled level of quality service.
“In recent years we have placed more than 2000 professionals into roles, and along with this vast amount of work, we have maintained an excellent approval rating which has made us stand out in the recruitment sector.
“Many of our clients are long standing partnerships, based on trust and our expertise. I’m really pleased to see that this excellent service has translated into an impressive period of growth.”
Core-Asset was placed 17th out of 50 in this year’s rankings. A major contributor to the success is the firm’s solutions team which helps supply interim, temporary and contract staff to the Scottish financial sector.
Managing director Mike Stirton said: “The solutions team have worked tirelessly to ensure that we deliver a level of service which exceeds our clients’ expectations.
“This has allowed us to build our fantastic reputation to attract and retain new business. I’m really pleased to see that not only my departments, but the entire company’s hard work has translated into exceptional growth underpinning our position as an industry leader.
“We have now set a high standard for ourselves to follow and going forward we will be looking to build on this success to ensure our clients get the very best service.”
