RE Recruitment

We’re the UK’s fastest-growing, independent, privately-owned, multi-sector recruiter (‘The Recruiter – Fast 50’) with six branches across England and Wales.

We offer a completely different recruitment experience as recruiting the right people or finding your next job can be time-consuming and frustrating. Made worse by agencies more interested in shifting the people on their books than finding the right person for the role. We think you deserve better. This is why we’ve been providing more personal, more dependable, more flexible and more imaginative recruitment solutions for over 20 years.

Over the years, we have raised significant amounts for various charities and volunteering time and expertise. This year we’ve chosen to support St Richard’s Hospice in Worcester, near one of our branches. Whilst several people in our business have experienced the support that hospices across the UK have offered loved ones in the latter stages of their lives, this hospice has been selected in memory of Jonathan Gibbs, father of James Gibbs (Group MD), who passed away in June 2017 and was cared for by St Richard’s.

We certainly intend to raise as much as we can, as James has told us so many good things about their work.

The Property Centre is an independent, award-winning estate agent, offering Sales, Lettings, Property Management and in-branch Mortgage & Protection services, and we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional service which is tailored around the needs of our clients.

As a local agent, it’s important to us to support our local communities and the charities which serve them. We have 10 offices across Worcester, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud, so when we were selecting charities for our 25th anniversary pledge, we wanted to choose a charity in each of these 4 areas.

We’ve been proud to fundraise for St Richard’s Hospice in the past with Fit for Feb events and we know about the great work you do to help people and their families in and around Worcester, so we were keen to select St Richard’s Hospice as one of our 4 pledge charities and hope to raise a considerable amount.

Our 25th anniversary pledge is more ambitious than anything we’ve ever done before and should raise in excess of £25,000, to be split equally between St Richard’s and the other 3 charities.
