Business description

The company is a provider of recruitment solutions for primary schools in London, sourcing staff for a variety of medium-to-long-term and permanent positions across Key Stage 1 / 2 (KS1 / 2) and the Early Years Foundation Stage.
At present, the company is working with 150 schools. Although some of its largest clients change year on year dependent on individual needs, the company maintains high volumes of recurring revenue, with many clients regarding it as their preferred supplier.
Schools benefit from access to a network of candidates who possess wide-ranging knowledge and experience of working with children with complex medical, social, emotional or behavioural needs, allowing them to streamline their temporary recruitment processes.
The shareholder currently operates remotely from overseas and is offering the business for sale to facilitate their exit.
Offers invited.
