NEW RECRUITMENT PARTNERSHIP

FOYNE JONES ANNOUNCES NEW RECRUITMENT PARTNERSHIP WITH BUTTLE’S

Foyne Jones, is delighted to announce a new partnership with independent timber and builder’s merchant, Buttle’s, providing a bespoke and outsourced recruitment solution.

Peter Jones, Managing Director of Foyne Jones Recruitment Group says, “Independent businesses are the backbone of Builders Merchanting in this country, and I am thrilled to play a part in the future of an industry, which I love so much. We do this by partnering with well-established brands and businesses, and Buttle’s is our latest partner already benefitting from an outsourced recruitment process created exclusively for them. As pent-up demand returns to the housing market, I am a firm believer in having honest conversations about talent attraction and onboarding, and we need to make the world of merchanting far more attractive to job seekers so that we can ensure our partners find the right people, at the right time.”

“Everyone in our industry knows of Peter and his team as they are renowned for telling it like it is, and so when it comes to sharing both time and knowledge, we are fully on board with this new strategic partnership."

“Identifying, sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and interviewing candidates in person and on video is a real skill, just like the practical nature of a builder’s merchants, and so being able to offer a custom package that is specifically tailored to Buttle’s is a huge benefit for us and them moving forward” adds Peter.

Ian Church, Managing Director at Buttle’s says, “Everyone in our industry knows of Peter and his team as they are renowned for telling it like it is, and so when it comes to sharing both time and knowledge, we are fully on board with this new strategic partnership. With customers including national house builders, local developers, general contractors, public sector organisations and home improvers, we are taking a pro-active approach to the skills shortage and supply chain issues by investing even more in our people and team. We are finding that the market is an increasingly candidate-driven market, so teaming up with a disruptive recruiter like Foyne Jones is going to give us the edge to make fundamental progress.”

This collaboration quickly follows Buttle’s achievement of being recognised by Investors In People (IIP) as a great place to work and ongoing commitment to its team of 60 employees Jack O’Connell, Partnerships and Projects Manager at Foyne Jones comments, “I am very impressed by how close-knit, positive, professional and high-energy the team at Buttle’s are following several site visits with Peter last month. As account manager, I will be supporting the branch managers and HR team by sourcing the best possible candidates to grow the Buttle’s family, as we all continue to shape the future of Britain’s built environment.”
