Kingdom Services Group has announced its acquisition of recruitment company, MC Personnel Ltd.
Established in 1998, MC Personnel has over 400 staff which it places into the Industrial, Food, Production, Manufacturing, Hospitality, and Driving sectors throughout Kent, South East London and Essex.
The acquisition now enables Kingdom Group to provide a wider recruitment proposition to customers and colleagues, including wider industry-specific experience, a national resource pool of people talent, operational synergies, innovative customer and colleague solutions, and broader “one stop” service capabilities such as security, cleaning, systems and training that come with being part of a Group already boasting 11,000+ colleagues and a turnover of £250 million.
MC Personnel will be rebranded as Kingdom People to align with the existing brands within the Kingdom Group.
Mike Rogers, COO of Kingdom People and his senior leadership team (SLT) will welcome the MC Personnel team, headed by Danielle Cassidy into Kingdom People. Cassidy will continue to lead the operation and will join the existing Kingdom People SLT.
Rogers said: “We are delighted to welcome the MC team, colleagues and customers to Kingdom. The acquisition of MC Personnel is an important step in the growth of Kingdom People as it becomes our 6th branch location and increases our footprint in core and new vertical markets including hospitality/catering and transport. The M C Personnel acquisition continues to shape the future of Kingdom People as we approach £100m in revenue and also strengthens our Kent, Sussex and SE London proposition.”
Danielle Cassidy in a joint statement said: “Having successfully led and developed the MC Personnel business, we are now really pleased to be joining Kingdom Group. Having built great relationships with many leading organisations the business now moves into its next & exciting phase of development as the first South East recruitment arm for Kingdom People. With the skills, support and resources now available as part of much bigger group and £75 million major player in the staffing and recruitment business, we look forward to further enhancing our service offerings to current clients and new, and continuing building our presence in the South East.”
