HR GO PLC Recruits in Gibraltar National recruitment group HR GO plc is delighted to announce the acquisition of Corporate Resources Ltd, a company based in Gibraltar that recruits personnel for a wide range of industries including, on-line gaming, banking and financial institutions, legal and accountancy practices and construction. Following the death of Mrs Sue Nellist, founder and managing director of Corporate Resources Ltd, HR GO plc has acquired the company from her husband. Corporate Resources Ltd will continue to trade under its own name for the foreseeable future. Part of the planned international expansion of HR GO plc, the new acquisition fits well along side its Spanish joint venture, HR GO Malaga, that also operates in the Gibraltar recruitment market.
CHARLES GOMEZ& COMPANY
Chairman of HR GO plc, Jack Parkinson, comments: “Corporate Resources Ltd is a well established recruitment company with an excellent reputation built up over ten years. This will create opportunities both in Gibraltar and in Spain”. The on-line gaming industry employs about 1800 people in Gibraltar and after a slump in 2006 with the enactment of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Act in the USA, the industry has now recovered and provides a lively market
for recruitment. A number of British companies have also taken advantage of the high-quality telecommunications available in Gibraltar to create a sizeable offshore banking industry adding to the demand for highly skilled employees. n HR GO plc is one of the top 55 recruitment companies in the UK. The business turns over circa £90 million and employs approximately 500 permanent staff nationally.
