A recruitment company has relocated to new office with plans to take on more members of staff in the coming months.
Hays UK&I, which has been operating in Stoke-on-Trent for more than 20 years, has moved from Church House in Hanley to Smithfield Works, also in the city centre.
The new office, where 11 staff will be based, is seen as an ideal location for the firm as well as an opportunity for growth.
Senior Business Director Sarah Blackburn said: “The central location of Smithfield Works is ideal to see candidates and clients, and it is just such a lovely space which is ideal for our team and business.
“As we look to the future, we can also see the opportunity of there being plenty of space and opportunity to grow, and we are actively recruiting at the moment for more local people to join our team.”
The Stoke branch of Hays has agreed a two-year fixed tenancy with Smithfield Works, which is a purpose-built co-working element and part of the £250 million mixed-use scheme by Genr8 Developments.
Other firms based there include a team from Barclays Corporate Banking and Ticketmaster Sport , which moved in last year, as reported by Daily Focus.
Adele Simmons, Community Manager at Smithfield Works, said: “Hays are a great business to have at Smithfield Works and we are very happy to welcome them to our Broad Street base in Hanley.
“It is also quite exciting that they are planning on more growth themselves and see Smithfield Works as the ideal place to do that. We wish them every success and look forward to what they do next.”
