Kent-based recruitment firm expands into London

Folkestone-based recruitment firm Red Eagle, which recently set up joint ventures in Bexley and Sittingbourne, has now opened a new joint venture operation in London.

Its new London office will be at Portland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1E.

The three-man operation has strength in the catering sector providing staff for major stadiums and sporting events, as well as a strong presence in the industrial and driving sectors.

MD of Red Eagle, Wayne Hodgson, said: “With our customer base reaching into London it was a natural progression for the company. The new office in Victoria is part of our strategic growth plan for the business and will allow us to develop our core business and explore additional sectors outside of Kent.”

Red Eagle started in 2004 and now employs 30 full-time staff across four offices. The only independent Kent-based recruitment agency to have REC Audited status, it also recently announced its fifth successful audit.

Forecast figures for the Red Eagle companies now show their annual turnover will be in excess of £25m.
