BRG acquires Headway Recruitment

Berry Recruitment Group (BRG) has acquired London-based Headway Recruitment. It is BRG’s second acquisition this year following the purchase of The Plus Team.

Headway was initially founded in 1996, and specialises in both temporary and permanent recruitment across office support, customer service, call centre and HR roles with a broad range of clients across London.

Chris Chown, BRG’s managing director, said: “The acquisition of Headway follows on from two other purchases in London as we establish ourselves in the capital.

“The agency has a fine reputation, fits with our profile and has excellent staff whose number we hope to increase. For the time being it will operate under its existing name and we anticipate quick growth.”

Katie Kenniford, Headway’s commercial director, added: “Everyone is excited about the future and it’s brilliant to be joining forces with Berry.

“None of our clients will be inconvenienced during the transition and the association with the Berry brands will further strengthen our service as we go forward.”

BRG, headquartered in St Albans, now operates from 30 branches across England and Wales, employing more than 180 people. All six of Headway’s staff will be transferring to BRG’s Hanover Square offices in central London.
