One of the largest independent recruitment groups Pertemps fired the starting pistol on a new arm of the family business, Network Brand Partnerships.
Midlands based Network Brand Partnerships is a fully owned subsidiary of Pertemps Investments and has been formed to improve the standards of local recruitment across the main sectors within the UK and Europe.

Debbie Smith Managing Director of Network Brand Partnership said: “We are offering three very diverse recruitment business models covering Executive Search, Health Care and the High Street. We want to attract partners to run their own business in the sector that suits them. It is an exciting move forwards in a growing industry.”

Network Brand Partnerships completed the acquisition of C N A International in December 2008, adding the established 20 strong Executive Search franchise network to their Health Care and High Street focused partner networks.

“C N A International has an enviable reputation within the recruitment industry and an experienced and highly motivated team of executive search consultants,” said C N A’s founder and former chairman Albert Wilde.

“Since forming the company in 1995, we have expanded our operations into Europe and I’m confident that the resources and expertise that Network Brand Partnerships is able to offer will take C N A to the next stage, enabling robust expansion both in the UK and on the international scene,” continues Wilde.

C N A Executive Search form one of the three arms of the unique offering Network Brand Partnerships has formed to create the leading recruitment industry franchise opportunity. High quality search is a multi million pound industry. Continued growth is forecast due to continue to the acute worldwide shortage of proven top management talent.

The Health Care arm is an evolution of the established and successful Pertemps Healthcare, named ‘Network Health and Social Care’. The UK market is currently worth over £12 billion per annum and this can only increase as the Government encourage more and more people to receive care in their own homes. This coupled with an increasingly ageing population will result in a quick return on investment.

Tim Watts, Chairman of Pertemps Investments said: “I am delighted to welcome Network Brand Partnerships to the Pertemps Group, this new venture will ensure we continue to strengthen operations within the recruitment industry.

“With so many different sectors in the recruitment industry attracting such varied business owners the aim of Network Brand Partnerships three franchise offerings are simply to provide choice. Partners will benefit from one of the most technologically advanced back office teams in the UK as well as a support team led by some of the recruitment industry’s most respected and experienced Individuals.”
