A RECRUITMENT company in Horwich has unveiled its latest senior hire - with a mission to expand their team.

Helen Jackson has joined Four Recruitment, of Mansell Way, as their new commercial director.

Bosses say her role will be to "drive day-to-day operational success" through their growing team of recruiters and "to further expand and develop the team".

Brother and sister Phil and Claire Sofield set up Four in 2008 and see Helen's appointment as their most crucial yet.

She was previously director at a rival Lancashire based recruitment agency and has more than 12 years experience in the industry.

Helen said: "It’s an incredibly exciting time to join Four. Claire and Phil have great plans for the growth of the business and I’m looking forward to being a part of this success.

“I was instantly attracted to the role at Four, because their values as a business are very much aligned to mine, delivering a long-standing, value-added service for clients that reinforces the great value the right recruiter can add to a business.”

Managing director Claire added: “The past year has been record-breaking at Four.

"In addition to a continually growing team, new divisions and more product lines, we have also identified other areas of business growth and have a number of exciting plans for the future.

"Helen’s role will enable us to focus more on these projects and continue expanding the business”.
