Long Established Care and Catering Recruitment Agency for sale in Poole, Dorset

The Business offered for sale includes two very well-established recruitment agencies that have been in operation for over 25 years. The current owners have run and owned them since 2002 and have built and developed them into market leaders in their market sectors.

One Agency supplies the Residential and Care home sector with Catering, Cleaning and Healthcare Staff both on a temporary and permanent basis. Amongst the staff provided are Chefs, Kitchen Assistants, Floor Domestics, Healthcare Assistants, Support Workers and Registered Nurses.

The other Agency is a Hospitality Staff provider, primarily to large sporting venues such as Cheltenham, Exeter and Wincanton Racecourses, but also supplies to the local restaurants, schools, yacht clubs and hotels in the area. Waiting and Bar staff, Chefs of all levels, Baristas, Chamber staff and Receptionists are the main types of staff provided.

The sale comes about after 22 years in the same ownership due to ill health with one of the main Directors who are a husband and wife team.

The business is run day to day by a manager and assistant manager, along with a full-time administrator and bookkeeper.
The Directors take daily reports but the business is self-managed. To take it to the next level it is of the opinion of the current owners that new invigorated leadership is required without the distraction of a serious illness.

That said it’s an excellent business that has provided an excellent standard of living for the owners, for over 20 years, so to give that up, a significant sale price will need to be agreed, reflecting of the immediate net returns on offer and the fantastic scope to grow the base either by bolting on to an existing recruitment business or similar, or as a stand-alone business investment. The main strength of the business is its long-established history in the marketplace and a strong business setup that has always delivered healthy gross profit margins resulting in strong net profit returns.
