Recruitment firm secures development grant

MacRae Solutions, a recruitment consultancy based in Northamptonshire, provides professional recruitment in IT, Marketing, Finance, Construction and Executive Search.

The consultancy has been awarded a development grant through a new venture called Pathways, which assists new businesses to grow and works in conjunction with East Midlands Development Agency, Northamptonshire Enterprise Limited and Business Link.

They recently organised a 'Dragon's Den' style contest for new local small businesses to compete for a grant.

The dragons were Simon Parslow, Ideasmatrix Limited; Graham Goss, HW Chartered Accountants; Mike Skidmore, In-formation; and Michael Folkard, from Invest Northamptonshire.

Marilyn Laurence, Director of MacRae Solutions, was grilled extensively on how her business would benefit from this award since MacRae Solutions is already an extremely successful enterprise.

The award which will enable the business to take on a Resourcer to help with its increasing workload and assist in its continued growth.

Other plans for the forthcoming year include putting in place a strong customer retention programme, more promotions, and also the likelihood of a new office in Macclesfield.

The company already has exceeded expectations and the current client list includes many well-known blue-chip clients who have benefited from the expertise, knowledge and persistence to find candidates that not only fit the brief but also match the company culture.

Integrity, professionalism and a refreshingly open approach to recruitment has assisted in this great start to MacRae Solutions.
