2018 – A Year of Growth for First Recruitment Group

30 Jan 2019

2018 was a fantastic year for First Recruitment Group, highlighted last week in our annual presentation setting the focus for 2019. During the presentation, company CEO John Urpi congratulated the whole team for their hard work in achieving growth in key areas and realising the company’s vision of changing the perception of recruitment.

Watch our video highlights of the year.



Highlights of the year included:

Singapore office opens

Back in October our Client Development Manager, Simon Calvert, and Client Services Manager, David Dixon, visited Singapore to explore and develop our presence following an excellent Oil & Gas client opportunity.

As a result of the trip we have now opened a brand new First Recruitment Group office, First Technical Singapore PTE LTD.

The Singapore office offers stability in-country to take on full operational responsibility for arranging payroll, visas, work permits, taxes, local support and of course manpower, assuring clients of full compliance.


Talascend joins First Recruitment Group

After in-depth discussions between our CEO, John Urpi, and Talascend’s Managing Director, Andy Rowlands, it was decided that the relationship was a natural alignment of both businesses in terms of capabilities, culture and values.

John added “This is an opportunity for each of the businesses to contribute to our combined growth plans, cross-selling and developing great client and candidate relationships. I see many similarities between our two companies and importantly they share the same values of excellence, passion, accountability and integrity.”


Operam Managed Services wins major Tullow Oil contract

In November we were delighted to announce that our MSP sister business, Operam Managed Solutions, had successfully been awarded a major contract with Tullow Oil to provide Contingent Workforce Services to their global operations.

Operam Director, Simon Woodhouse, said, “This is a significant milestone in our history, enabling us to bring our wealth of best practice knowledge and experience, combined with VMS technologies procured by Tullow Oil, to improve the overall efficiency and compliance of their contingent workforce solutions.”
