Councillor John Blackburn, Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, was the guest of honour at a drinks reception to celebrate leading recruitment company right4staff’s rebrand. right4staff which has a branch at Northway in Scarborough was recently acquired by the international Gi Group network and has been renamed Gi Group, changing its orange branding to a dark blue.
Gi Group’s head office is located in Milan, so the night was themed with popular Italian music playing, Prosecco to drink and pizza and anti-pasta to eat. A mix of local dignitaries, customers and members of staff attended the event to mark the occasion.
John was previously Director of Personnel at McCain and was right4staff’s first customer at the Scarborough branch when it was initially established in 1997 to meet the company’s recruitment needs in the area. Since then McCain has become one of the largest customers at the branch, which currently supplies over 80 temporary staff.
Sarah Robinson, Gi Group Branch Manager at Scarborough said: “Whilst it is business as usual here in Scarborough, as part of the innovative and exciting Gi Group we can now further build on our UK presence. We, and our customers, can reap the benefits of us being part of an international organisation which is committed to global excellence in our market.
“In the meantime we remain focussed on the local area and business is certainly booming! We have seen a steady increase in demand for both permanent and temporary staff across all sectors over the past few months despite the continuing economic downturn. Our local businesses seem determined to continue to buck the trend and we are proud to face these challenges side by side with our customers.”
