The UK Recruitment industry currently enjoys a turnover in excess of £12 billion annually, making it one of the most buoyant sectors of the economy.

New technology, changing work practices, economic trends, training issues and demographic shifts continue to provide tremendous opportunities for our industry. Projected turnover figures indicate significant future growth.

Our business is to provide quality cost effective temporary and permanent staff recruitment services. As a multi-disciplined agency we specialise in recruiting for almost every sector in the market place. We offer our clients the highest standard of service with the emphasis on professionalism at all times. Our name and our reputation are synonymous with excellence.

Travail Employment Group was established in 1977. In 1985, having opened 3 additional branches of our own, we embarked upon a programme of expansion through franchising to develop a national network of professionally run offices. Travail Employment Group now have branches throughout the UK, in itself a measure of the franchise programme's success. As new recruits join, current franchisees open additional branches and we ourselves continue to expand, further growth is assured.

Today, Travail Employment Group is one of the largest privately owned and most respected recruitment companies in the UK. In a competitive business world the Travail Employment Group continues to expand - a fact that speaks as much for the attractive economics of operating a Travail recruitment business as it does for the market forces which continue to promote our industry's growth.

Our name and our business expertise is already known in many cities and towns. We are fully committed to developing our national network further.
