ONE OF Scotland’s most successful and innovative recruitment businesses has announced that it is to open a new office in Dunfermline, Fife. Inverness-headquartered Be Personnel, which is a leading recruiter in the Food Processing, Commercial, Industrial and Driving sectors – as well as recruiting for Senior / Management level positions – will open its second Scottish office at the Flexspace Dunfermline business centre in October, staffed by an initial team of four working across recruitment and business development functions.
Be Personnel has been enjoying a period of continued growth – including during the pandemic – with much of the growth driven in the Central Belt. With the growth projected to continue it is anticipated that the team in Dunfermline will add to its number in due course. Sectors covered by the team will be Food Processing, Commercial and Industrial.
The move coincides with Dunfermline being named as Scotland’s eighth and newest city earlier in the year as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. On October 3, 2022 Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort arrived to confer city status on the former Royal Burgh.
Speaking about the launch of the new office, Be Personnel Managing Director, Claire Cookson, said:
“We are delighted to strengthen our presence in the Central Belt with the opening of our Dunfermline office. We have experienced strong growth in the region even during the pandemic and the new office will bring together our team who had been home working since lockdown when not on one of our client sites in the region.
“The new office is based close to MOWI, our valued Client which we work in Partnership with, so it will provide a great candidate space where we can meet prospective candidates for placement as well as providing us with a dedicated place to service our growing Central Belt Client base.”
Be Personnel employs 13 people and is now in its second decade of trading, during which it has
grown to be one of Scotland’s premier recruitment businesses. Their Dunfermline office brings the company’s locations to four – joining their Inverness base and presence at client offices in Buckie and Rosyth.
Be Personnel is part of the Inverness-based GEG Capital group of companies, which also contains fellow recruitment companies, Cammach Bryant, Genesis Personnel and Global Highland.
Speaking about Be Personnel’s expansion, GEG Capital director, Jia MacKenzie, commented:
“Be Personnel have enjoyed strong growth in the Central Belt in recent years and the addition of a new office should act as a catalyst for further success in the region. We look forward to supporting them on the latest stage of their growth journey.”
