Expansion Leads to New Premises for The Best Connection

The Best Connection employment group has relocated to new premises in Hatton House, Union Street, in the heart of the regeneration area of Plymouth. 

Following its success over the past nine years, The Best Connection has become the leading supplier of temporary labour to the industrial, driving and warehouse & distribution sectors and the move to larger premises will accommodate the company's expansion plans.

Bruce Trower, branch manager, commented: "Our list of clients and temporary workers continues to grow for both HGV and Industrial work, with an increasing number of clients who, having previously utilised the services of other employment businesses, have decided to commit to us long-term by choosing to sign preferred supplier agreements.  This is a direct result of my team's relentless work in consistently placing the right candidate in the right position."

 "The new premises in Union Street will provide an ideal base from which we can expand the business.  In line with this, we are always interested in talking to any company in the Plymouth and the surrounding areas that are looking for either temporary or permanent staff.  We currently have vacancies for consultants in both the HGV and Industrial sectors who are looking for genuine career progression with The Best Connection.

The Best Connection is one of the UK's top 250 mid-market private companies.  Launched sixteen years ago in the Midlands, the business, which is still privately

owned, is officially ranked as the largest supplier of drivers and one of the top four industrial suppliers within the UK.  The company has grown from a staff of seven to a national network of 65 branches with almost 600 permanent employees.  Last year The Best Connection achieved a turnover in excess of £172 million.

In the UK transport sector, The Best Connection continued to demonstrate its dominance in 2007 by extending its market share from 10% to 34% in a sector that grew by 10%.  The company continues to be managed by its founder directors, Andrew Sweeney, Neil Yorke, Martin Recci and Michael Cooper, all of whom originate from the Midlands area.
